like cry havoc ( also make in 1943 but with a small cast and a modest set ) and this be a film about american army nurse strand on corregidor and philippine during the horrific time when general macarthur be order to retreat to australia . both film be fascinate and move because they be make during the war and before it outcome be know . the performance of the very large cast of so proudly we hail be uniformly good with the exception of ms. goddard and whose mannerism be annoy . george reeve give the performance of his career and even the much malign sonny tuft turn in a subtle performance . the balance of violence and romance work while and commendable also be the script restraint couple with unexpected plot turn and un clichéd character study . it long and yes and and occasionally strives to sound like a documentary and but it be never boring and one of it set piece and a patriotic speech make by the chaplain ( walter abel ) and still resonate today and during another war .
