"The Revolt of Mamie Stover" is a sort of jazzy noir piece set in Hawaii during World War 2. It provides a somewhat bleak but perhaps not unfounded look at the world. The men all crave female attention and companionship and are more than willing to pay for it, or at least for a facsimile of it. And the woman all seek money and success and are willing to degrade themselves in order to get it. In this milieu when true love is possibly found it is squashed and squandered due to irreconcilable differences, ingrained prejudices and lack of trust. A sad story really, but colorfully told, though not too explicitly. I rate this film a 4/10, not a must see, really just for Jane Russell fans.
