SO PROUDLY WE HAIL TRAILER 1943 WWII VERONICA LAKE

Re-release theatrical trailer for the Mark Sandrich-directed WWII classic, SO PROUDLY WE HAIL, starring Claudette Colbert, Paulette Goddard and Veronica Lake. Scripter Allan Scott -- better known for his work on light-hearted comedies and Astaire-Rogers musicals -- told the the real-life story of a US Army nurses in the Phillipines at the outbreak of World War II. Based in part on the nurses' actual journals, the film is a powerful chronicle of their harrowing experiences at the hands of the advancing Japanese forces. To additional realism, some of the suiviving nurses were advisors of the set and were used as extras in the film. Look for television's "Superman", George Reeves as Colbert's love interest. The film was a box-office blockbuster and garnered four Oscar nominations: Best Screenplay, Best Supporting Actress (Paulette Goddard), Best Black and White Cinematography and Best Special Effects.
