This Gun for Hire Color. Paramount Pictures, 1945. Lobby card features Alan Ladd, Veronica Lake, Laird Cregar and a fourth actor (possibly Victor Kilian). Sight approximately 10 3/4 x 13 1/2". Framed under glass. Frame size approximately 13 1/4 x 16".
Originally released in 1942, this film noir made Alan Ladd (who was billed fourth) a huge star. In 1945, Paramount re-released this film to capitalize on Ladd's newfound fame, giving him top billing.
Condition
Card a bit faded, some occasional minor soiling visible. Fine. Not examined out of frame.
