Auction History Result 4c848 THIS GUN FOR HIRE lobby card '42 Robert Preston & sexy Veronica Lake questioned by police! Date Sold 3/5/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 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 pinholes, creases, and smudges around the edges. A restorer pressed and flattened the card and then performed touch up to all of the borders and the white background, without backing the card. There is also slight restoration within the image area. The card displays pretty well, but you can tell there has been restoration in the white background areas. Learn More about condition grades
