About This Item
NY: Duell, Sloan and Pearce; (1951). First Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. First edition ("I" on copyright page), very good with no dust jacket. Blue cloth with yellow lettering on the spine. Cloth is a little worn; spine is slightly sunned. Very faint offset of tape at top and bottom of front endpaper. Rear endpaper has a lower corner crease and a closed tear (a little over 1") at the top. No names or other marking in the book, although a few interior pages may be slightly stained. The basis for the 1956 Raoul Walsh film of the same name starring Jane Russell as the title character and Richard Egan. Marilyn Monroe was slated to play Mamie, who was a blond in the book, but had to opt out. Jane Russell dyed her hair red for this role and was called "Flaming Mamie" in the film.
Synopsis
This article is about the book. For the film, see The Revolt of Mamie Stover (film). The Revolt of Mamie Stover is a 1951 novel by William Bradford Huie about a Mississippi prostitute, later a war profiteer in Honolulu. A movie version directed by Raoul Walsh was filmed in 1956 with Jane Russell in the title role. The fact that Hollywood adapted the book was ironic, given that the first two chapters represent a very sharp indictment of film industry culture.
