The Revolt of Mamie Stover

“Why Did Mamie Stover Have to Leave San Francisco?”

In the early 1940s, with the war in the Pacific pressing closer, Mamie Stover (Jane Russell) is run out of San Francisco for working as a prostitute and sails for Hawaii to start over. Raoul Walsh follows her into Honolulu, where Jim Blair (Richard Egan) is part of the new life she is trying to build. A woman can cross an ocean, and the past she left behind still arrives before she does.
