Classic Western Starring Alan Ladd And David Ladd | The Proud Rebel (1958) | Retrospective

Confederate veteran John Chandler (Alan Ladd) returns from defeat in war to find his home razed, his wife dead and his young son, David (David Ladd), traumatized and rendered mute. Desperate to cure the boy, Chandler takes David to a small town in Illinois where he hopes to find a doctor. But, soon after the pair arrives, Chandler finds himself framed for assault -- and forced to choose between serving hard time and working for struggling local farmer Linnett Moore (Olivia de Havilland).
The Proud Rebel is a 1958 American Technicolor western film directed by Michael Curtiz, with a screenplay by Joseph Petracca and Lillie Hayward that was based on a story by James Edward Grant.[1][2] It is the story of a widowed Confederate veteran and his mute son who struggle to make a new life among sometimes hostile neighbors in the Midwest. Despite the implications of the title, the main character in "The Proud Rebel" does not dwell much on his Southern past, but finds his life complicated by sectional prejudice.

Such a great movie. Alan Ladd was a real man's man, I remember him in Shane. Olivia de Havilland was such a beauty and great actor. Thank you so much for uploading this, I enjoyed it so much. Greetings from Upstate New York.

No one can add beauty to something so beautiful by adding just some words.

It was filmed in 70(?) mm celluloid. Organic material that degrades over time. It was the only thing available at the time.
