An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (11x14; LC; measures 11" x 14") (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. Condition: good to very good. The card had many pinholes around the edges with some tiny tears and smudges in the borders. There was surface paper loss on the back of each corner where tape had been removed. A talented professional starch-backed the card and then performed restoration to the borders, and then removed the starch backing, so that the card still looks and feels just like it did before, but with the restoration in the borders (it appears the restorer painted over most of the blank white background areas, to "even them out"). There were a few faint smudges and scuffs scattered in the image, and the restorer left those alone. Learn More about condition grades
