THE REVOLT OF MAMIE STOVER
(20th Century-Fox-CinemaScope) | INCE, like every journalist, I’ve often’ been so hard up that I wondered if I might sell my soul for solvency, I don’t find it so hard to understand a woman similarly placed who thinks about selling her body. That’s what. Mamie Stover (Jane Russell) does in this. apparently partly-true story. Of course, there was one man who really
meant something to her, and Jimmy Blair (Richard Egan) was ready to forgive the past till he found she’d gone back to her job as a night club "hostess" the. moment he was out of sight. Why even then he should have taken such a high moral tone I can’t | make out, because the sample of his novelist’s" prose we're treated to) makes it clear that he’d sold out long ago-if he ever had anything to sell. | Actually, though, this is not an_ uninteresting story, and if it shows a cowardly reticence about | Mamie’s occupation, it’s more commendably re--strained in not exploiting the physical charms of Miss Russell and the girls in the tasteless way one might have expected. Raoul Walsh directed.
