Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Proud and Profane (1956) has been out of circulation for many decades. In 2011, when Olive Films began appropriating the Paramount catalog for DVD and Blu-ray issues, this movie was announced for U.S. release, but it never materialized. The film continues to languish in the Paramount vaults.
- GoofsThe US Army Air Force C-47 cargo planes are painted in post WWII paint scheme rather than the wartime green. When the Air Force became a separate service in 1947 the white over bare metal paint scheme as seen in the movie was adopted.
- Quotes
Chaplain Lt. (jg) Holmes: It must be wonderful to feel that one has lived such a perfect life... that forgiveness has never been necessary.
Featured review
US Virgin Islands Location
Several scenes from "The Proud and the Profane" were shot at my parents' home in St Thomas, USVI, at Estate Frenchman's Bay on the island's southern side. The company bought (and left) an additional refrigerator to make & keep ice for the stars' drinks (it gets hot under the lights in the Caribbean!). I also remember seeing a few huge electric bulbs that apparently were blown out or not worth the expense of shipping back to Hollywood. Since I was in elementary school in the States at the time of shooting, I didn't get to watch any of the production, but heard all the stories when I returned for the summer. "The Frogmen", with Richard Widmark, was also shot on the property (in the bay in front of the house).
