Auction History Result 6s268 THIS GUN FOR HIRE linen 3sh '42 great image of Alan Ladd with gun & sexy Veronica Lake! Date Sold 12/4/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Style A Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81" [104 x 206 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. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had small paper loss at some crossfolds and some creases, tears, and tiny paper loss on parts of many foldlines. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects when you stand close to the poster, but from any reasonable viewing distance, this poster displays quite nicely!
