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.

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!!

yep

another good one that I loved was "The Best Years Of Our Lives" Mryna Loy, Fredic Forrest, Dana Andrews, Harold Russell, its a good watch

[VideoByPatrick]

Back in the mid 1960s Veronica Lake used to come to WJZ-TV to shoot some late night intros for our movies. She was stunning, even in her late age and so fragile bue very sensual and mystical.

When I reach those Pearly Gates and Saint Peter inquisitively looks me up and down, all"s I'm gonna say is, "Saint Pettie baby just point me in the direction of Miss Lake's chateau, I didn't come all the way up here for nothing!

[2vintage68]

That last scene is hair raising. She could act.

Paulette Goddard brought me here.. now i hear her 'deep' voice *droolll* i'm so in love..

[delmarre ennis]

yes music score and action scenes excellent in every way. supporting actors abel...treen...adams.....servo­ss...britton..all were just impeccable. guess waht in 1993 i bought goddards nurse uniform at an auction couldnt afford all 3 leading stars dresses but goddards is exposed so proudly on my wall. please see the movie vote for it wherever you can because it cannot disappear from our memories.

[delmarre ennis]

this movie....too me is the best movie of all times. it is able to transfer emotions of the era...and after seeing it for the twenty something times...i still get goose pimples and get awestruck. first the acting...paulette goddard fooling every critics by proving she could act remarkably and garnering a oscar bid. veronica lake the sos so sex pot had many good moments in this film. colbert true to herself. sonny tufts omg....he got me to believe in him. the music haunting action scenesAA

[missuniworld]

Paulette Goddard was nominated for an oscar for this.
