THE REVOLT OF MAMIE STOVER

Special Features: 70th Anniversary | 4K Restoration’

Jane Russell gives one of her best performances as a defiantly independent prostitute-turned-real estate mogul in WWII-era Hawaii. Run out of San Francisco by the law, Mamie Stover (Russell) sets out for Hawaii intending to turn over a new leaf. Shipboard, she meets and falls for sensitive writer Jim Blair (Richard Egan), but the two must part, as he is betrothed to Annalee (Joan Leslie). In Honolulu, Mamie falls back into the game, dying her hair red and taking a job at a shady dance hall owned by the cruel Bertha Parchman (Agnes Moorehead), where she becomes the star attraction as “Flaming Mamie.” Soon flush with cash, she proudly pays Jim back for a loan he provided her, but he disapproves of how she makes a living. Following the cataclysm of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Jim enlists and ships out. During the war years, Mamie invests her hard-won earnings into real estate and becomes a wealthy woman. But will the world ever let her be free of her past? DIR Raoul Walsh; SCR Sydney Boehm, from the novel by William Bradford Huie; PROD Buddy Adler. U.S., 1956, color, 92 min. NOT RATED
