Greetings theater and music fans!
I don't know the title of this film, or the name of the actress, but I'm pretty sure it was an American movie. The scene I recall is where the actress is singing about how she would "...Never Rock n Roll...". The setting was some kind of nightclub I believe.
The song is a jazzy number - NOT rock and roll. It might have been an episode from a TV show, but my gut feeling is it was a movie - most likely from the 1950's or early 1960's. The lyric was definitly something like "I won't Rock n Roll" or "Don't Ask Me To Rock n Roll", or "I'll Never Rock n Roll".
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Hi folks.
HOORAY! Today I found the song I've been searching for (I've been preoccupied with this task for weeks now). In case anyone is interested, here are the details of the tune in question, and a yootoob link to the clip of the singer/actress performing it (Cara Williams).
Song title - I Refuse to Rock and Roll
Movie - Meet Me in Las Vegas (1956)
Music by Nicholas Brodszky - Lyrics by Sammy Cahn.
