Auction History Result 6y0880 THIS GUN FOR HIRE LC 1942 sexy Veronica Lake watches Alan Ladd about to sit by her on train! Date Sold 7/30/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (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!

Important Added Info: Note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: fair to good. The card has yellowed tape and surface paper loss where tape was removed around the edges. It has a 1" tear in the right of the top border, with a few pinholes and many faint smudges around the edges and some smudges within the image. There is a tiny mark in the white of one of Lake's eyes. Obviously, this card is "restore-able", but bear all of the above in mind before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades
