Veronica Lake, Claudette Colbert, Paulette Goddard

In these two clips from the 1943 film So Proudly We Hail, three fine actresses strut their stuff but it is the young Lake who becomes quite the scene stealer.

I'm going on vacation in a few days for a week and a half. So when I get back I'll see what I can do. By the way, if anyone is on netflix they can rent this movie there, or it is available to buy from Amazon. If you want to read my full review google Clydes Movie Palace, So Proudly We Hail and you should find it. I have some screen captures on that review.

[Daishikaze]

A great movie, I just bought it recently and I don't know why its not talked about more often when War movies are discussed, its great.

[clydesplace]

I do agree with you. When most people think of war movies they think of the usual films about combat. This is a remarkable film that certainly could use more attention.

I've never seen this movie before. I really want to now. Is Veronica holding a locket? I can't tell.

[clydesplace]

Yes. She ripped the locket off of Goddard. They had mistakenly taken it from Lake's purse. It was given to her by the boyfriend she was talking about in the second clip.

You can see more and read more at my movie blog. Google Clyde Movie Palace and I think it's on the list. Or try clydemovies at blogspot if you know what to do with that hint.

In the short period of time that Veronica Lake was a star, only 8 years! She has lived on, not only through that fabulous hairstyle but by some wonderful movies! Sullivan Travels, I married A Witch, This Gun For Hire, The Glass Key, So Proudly We Hail, and The Blue Dahlia. There would have been no Lauren Bacall, Lizabeth Scott, Ellas Raines, if not for Lake. She was difficult, (Bipolar disorder) and her drinking didn't help. But what a gorgeous unique woman!!

want to see all of this film!! =[

thanks for this clip! Paulettes fierce!

[Sirgreaseflick]

Ahh, what I'd do to get bitch-slapped by Veronica lake! Sullivan's Travels Diner scene, where she turns around, her hair falling over her one eye, her peerlessly beautiful face stealing the scene, and her cool delivery of dialogue, leave you holding your jaw with both hands! What a looker! Her comedic timing is also breath-taking. She makes Monroe look decidedly benign. Now for the playback of that slap....

[lovemypeke1]

Lake did steal the scene. They're all such fine actresses. I'd like to watch this one in its entirety.

[caraleighjackson]

I love this movie. Paluette Goddard has such snappy dialogue, but Veronica Lake's grenade scene is the best. Not your average "glamor" scene, but so very intense and powerful.

[vizdi14]

What a talented actress was Veronica Lake, not only a sexy bombshell with her classic hairstyle, she was a tremends dramatic actress too.

[avenueyay]

love it!

[edwardjames50]

Veronica Lake was also the catalyst for causing major trouble on the set between the three stars.

[balerick48]

One of my favorite scenes. Veronica was a much better actress than she was given credit for.

I love Claudette Colbert She is so awesome. I actually just bought a few of her movies on a movie website. I bought them on lovingtheclassics
