Auction History Result 4w916 THIS GUN FOR HIRE LC '42 Robert Preston hides from Alan Ladd with gun & sexy Veronica Lake! Date Sold 1/29/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1942 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! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good. There are stains and areas of paper loss in the left and top borders. They slightly enter the top of the green background area, but otherwise, they do not affect the image or writing. There are pinholes in the corners. Certainly, these are real defects, but any talented restorer can paperback this card and after proper restoration it will look fantastic. But please read our description above and look at our super-sized image before placing a bid on this card. Learn More about condition grades
