The Proud Rebel and Hollywood’s Civil War bias
Hollywood continues a tradition of softening Civil War history by favoring the South in films. The Proud Rebel stars Alan Ladd Olivia de Havilland and Dean Jagger with Ladd’s son David. Director Michael Curtiz argues such North South stories reflect literary chivalry and underdog appeal rather than strict history. The plot follows a Southern man and his mute son seeking a doctor to restore speech after Atlanta’s bombardment.
