So Proudly We Hail! is a 1943 American war film directed and produced by Mark Sandrich from a screenplay by Allan Scott based on the book I Served on Bataan by Lieutenant Colonel Juanita Redmond. Claudette Colbert, Paulette Goddard, and Veronica Lake star as American Red Cross nurses sent to the Philippines during the early days of World War II.
Produced by Paramount Pictures, the film was one of several pieces portraying the Philippines campaign, specifically the Angels of Bataan. At the time of its release, the nurses in Bataan were still being held as prisoners of war. After backlash to the inaccuracy of other projects with the same theme, Paramount took great lengths to ensure that the film was accurate by collaborating with the War Department, Redmond, and several advisors.
