Auction History Result 8k930 THIS GUN FOR HIRE 8x10 still '42 tough Alan Ladd menaces sexy Pamela Blake & Chester Clute! Date Sold 5/2/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (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 for unknown reasons, this still has a very wide set of bottom credits. Even though the still measures 8 1/4" high instead of 8", there still was not quite room for all of the lines of credits at the bottom, so the very bottom line did not completely print on the bottom edge of the still (the still is not trimmed, and this would be true of all stills) Condition: very good. The still is lightly rippled across the center, caused by the snipe glued to the back, but it is more "felt" than seen (it is mostly only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light). Otherwise, the still is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
