An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (11x14; LC; measures 10 3/4" x 13 3/4") (Learn More) This Gun For Hire, the classic 1942 Frank Tuttle spy espionage counterfeiting murder crime film noir ("Killer without a conscience! Lover without a heart?"; "Based on the novel by Graham Greene") starring Veronica Lake (as a magician who does card tricks!), Robert Preston, Laird Cregar, Alan Ladd, Tully Marshall, Mikhail Rasumny, Marc Lawrence, Pamela Blake, Emmett Vogan, and Victor Kilian. Note that Alan Ladd was fourth billed in this movie (he had been in movies for several years, including in Citizen Kane, but he had mostly tiny roles), but this movie made him a major star. It is incredibly fortunate that the U.S. poster artist chose to feature only fourth-billed Ladd and first-billed Lake on the one-sheet, making it one of the most desirable U.S. posters! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this lobby card has been trimmed and it now measures 10 3/4" x 13 3/4". Condition: good to very good. There was a 2" tear in the upper right border (solely in the white border) that was repaired with tape from the back. There are smudges, creases, and some very tiny surface paper loss in the borders with three very tiny tears (there is a piece of tape on the back of the tiny tear that is in the left of the top border). There are smudges in the background area above the barrel with a tiny area of surface paper loss in the background just above the barrel. There are a few faint smudges in the background areas. This card has never had any restoration other than the tape repairs described above, and certainly, any talented restorer could touch up the above defects and the card would look fantastic!
