"The Girl Can’t Help It" (女はそれを我慢できない), Original Japanese First-Release Movie Poster 1956, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) ZA17

This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed in 1956 for Frank Tashlin’s Technicolor/CinemaScope rock-’n’-roll comedy The Girl Can’t Help It, starring Jayne Mansfield, Tom Ewell, and Edmond O’Brien—with electric cameos by Little Richard, Fats Domino, The Platters, Gene Vincent, and Eddie Cochran. A sly send-up of showbiz and desire, it also stands as one of the earliest major studio films to platform rock music on screen.

Design
A knockout Japan-only layout on saturated red: Jayne Mansfield strikes a pin-up pose in a canary-yellow swimsuit at right, while a giant downward arrow frames Tom Ewell’s bemused close-up at left—a perfect visual gag for the film’s “can’t-help-it” premise. Bold lemon-yellow title lettering 「女はそれを我慢できない」 anchors the lower field, with neat white cast credits and the CINEMASCOPE/De Luxe Color callouts completing a high-impact 1950s campaign.
