Auction History Result 5f917 THIS GUN FOR HIRE LC '42 c/u of Alan Ladd looking at sexy Veronica Lake & Robert Preston! Date Sold 5/26/2009 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: very good to fine. There are tiny pinholes in the corners and some faint smudges and stains around the edges of the card. Other than the above, the card is in nice condition. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back of the card! I would think many collectors would prefer to leave this great card just as it is, but certainly, any restorer could touch up the minor defects described above, either with or without backing the card.
