Auction History Result 2w916 THIS GUN FOR HIRE 8.25x10 still '42 Alan Ladd in trench coat points gun at Veronica Lake! Date Sold 12/1/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1942 Vintage Theatrical 8 1/4" x 10" [21 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 this still measures 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm]. Condition: good. The still is lightly rippled at middle right, caused by a snipe that was glued to the back of that area. There are printer marks in the bottom border and a pinhole in each corner, with some unevenness to the emulsion, but it is mostly only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light.
