So Proudly We Hail 1943 DVD - Claudette Colbert / Paulette Goddard

A group of U.S. Army nurses leaves San Francisco for their tour of duty in Hawaii in December 1941. The attack on Pearl Harbor changes their destination—and their lives. Sent to Bataan in the Philippines, the nurses are led by Lt. Janet Davidson, who must guide a team of untested nurses expecting an easy assignment in Honolulu. They quickly become battle-weary veterans, enduring daily bombardments by Japanese forces, dealing with overwhelming numbers of wounded, and facing dwindling supplies. Romantic entanglements with men they met onboard ship further complicate the situation. After Bataan falls, the American forces retreat to Corregidor, only to find the Japanese assault just as intense. Cast: - Claudette Colbert as Lt. Janet "Davy" Davidson - Paulette Goddard as Lt.
