The Proud and Profane
Theirs...The Most Intimate Love Story to Come Out of the War! Screen greats William Holden (Stalag 17) and Deborah Kerr (From Here to Eternity) star in the romantic World War II classic, The Proud and Profane. Red Cross volunteer Lee Ashley (Kerr) arrives in New Caledonia in 1943, hoping to discover details about the death of her husband on Guadalcanal. Initially reluctant to involve herself in nursing responsibilities, Lee is galvanized by leader Kate Connors (Thelma Ritter, All About Eve). Although courted by an old friend, Lee falls for the roguish Lt. Col. Colin Black (Holden), despite his harsh manner. The pair become involved—until Colin’s carelessness proves to have lasting ramifications. Based on a bestseller by Lucy Herndon Crockett, this movie of startling frankness was brought magnificently to the screen by the legendary writer/director George Seaton (Miracle on 34th Street, The Country Girl) and producer William Perlberg (The Bridges at Toko-Ri). 2022 HD Master by Paramount Pictures – From a Scan | NEW Audio Commentary by Filmmaker/Historian Steve Mitchell and Combat Films: American Realism Author Steven Jay Rubin | Optional English Subtitles
