    What 1958 Jayne Mansfield movie did Jerry Lee Lewis sing the title song for and did he actually write it?

    The only movie Jayne Mansfield released in 1958 was "The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw", and there is no evidence of Jerry Lee Lewis singing any song, title or otherwise. Three songs were sung by Connie Francis (dubbed for Jayne Mansfield's character).

    Jerry Lee Lewis DID appear (as himself, singing the title track) in the 1958 film "High School Confidential".
