In The Bad and the Beautiful Dick Powell plays James Lee Bartlow, an author whose first novel, The Proud Land, is a best seller.

At this website, you can see a scene from the movie in which Bartlow considers a window display featuring copies of his novel. Noted also are the use of Proud Land as a title of a theatrical performance advertised in posters in the movie The Band Wagon.

One commenter added that the actual book is seen on book shelves in the movies Torch Song (1953) and The World, the Flesh and the Devil (1959).

To this short list of The Proud Land appearances you can add the Twilight Zone episode "Escape Clause".
