Released on this day (14 March 1959) in New York cinemas: mildly funny 1958 comedy Western Sheriff of Fractured Jaw (also known as The Blonde and The Sheriff. It was issued in the UK in December 1958). It’s no great shakes by even the most generous stretch of the imagination, but it is of interest and not without fluffy retro charm. Despite being released by 20th Century Fox, filmed in gleaming deluxe CinemaScope and directed by a prestigious filmmaker (Raoul Walsh), Sheriff of Fractured Jaw is one of leading lady Jayne Mansfield’s more minor works. The film is set in the American West, but the interiors were shot at Pinewood Studios in London and the exteriors in Spain. Mansfield stars as frontier town Fractured Jaw’s tough and sensible saloon proprietress Miss Kate. (She plays Kate with a wandering Southern accent. Martha Saxton, author of 1975 biography Jayne Mansfield and The American Fifties, accurately concludes, "Jayne plays the role with a lot of gusto and an imperfectly thought-out accent which falls somewhere between Fort Laramie and Newark.”). Her incredibly wasp-waisted, tightly corseted 1880s costumes are certainly noteworthy (and Mansfield was pregnant at the time with her second child). As well as being saloon keeper, Kate multi-tasks as the saloon’s onstage chanteuse and these musical numbers provide Sheriff of Fractured Jaw’s most gloriously campy moments because Mansfield is clearly miming to another woman’s voice which bears no relation to her own (the singing is, in fact, via Connie Francis!). Watch for a cameo appearance from British character actor Sid James playing a drunk which anticipates his lecherous Carry On persona. Pictured: pinup of Mansfield promoting Sheriff of Fractured Jaw.
