The Proud and Profane 11/19/24

Deborah Kerr shines as an emotionally troubled war widow who volunteers to do Red Cross work in the Pacific Theater of WW2. William Holden is the he-bull Marine colonel who claims her almost as a right of rank. Not a combat film, it’s nevertheless a polished production with a gallery of fine acting support — all somewhat hampered by so-so direction and a script that opts for ‘easy out’ solutions to sticky emotional problems. Another VistaVision winner in a sterling presentation. On Blu-ray from KL Studio Classics.
