NOTE: The below Blu-ray captures were taken directly from the Blu-ray disc.

The Twilight Time 1080P transfer is in the 2.55:1 aspect ratio on a dual-layered disc with a high bitrate. The colors are very appealing in the very widescreen presentation. The image has, an inherent, softness that is consistent throughout. It can also look a bit waxy, but I don't see signs of digitization - this is probably more the film's production appearance. The Blu-ray visuals are impressive in-motion. This version of The Revolt of Mamie Stover appears to be the slightly longer version (not the FMC Library Print.)

Twilight Time again give the option of a robust DTS-HD Master 5.1 surround transfer 24-bit (the film originally had a 4-Track Stereo) - or a similar encode in 2.0 channel. I didn't notice extensive separation but it seemed to suit the film's requirement with some Hawaiian culture and, of course, the Pearl Harbor bombings and strafing runs on citizens where the audio transfer exported some depth.  The score is composed by Hugo Friedhofer (Joan of Arc, Broken Arrow, Between Heaven and Hell, Man in the Attic, Ace in the Hole, Body and Soul, Gilda, The Bishop's Wife, The Bravados) and has songs including Walkin' Home With The Blues (Main Title) plus Keep Your Eyes On The Hands sung by Jane Russell with a Hula Girl Chorus and a traditional Hawaiian War Chant (Ta-Hu-Wa-Hu-Wai). There are optional English (SDH) subtitles on the region FREE Blu-ray disc.

Twilight Time only offer the film's theatrical trailer as an extra on the disc. A commentary would have been a nice addition. The package has linear notes included.

I was expecting something much lighter - The Revolt of Mamie Stover has adult themes, female empowerment, war and romance. It offers an impressive, tough girl, performance from Russell. I grew to love the film's exotic look, extravagant costumes and mixed genres.  The a/v presentation has value and this Blu-ray, and the film, are both recommended.
