This Gun for Hire is a 1942 American film noir crime film directed by Frank Tuttle and starring Veronica Lake, Robert Preston, Laird Cregar, and Alan Ladd.
The Ladd-Lake pairing was one of the reasons for the success of This Gun for Hire.
The two actors would appear
together in a few other films: The Glass Key (1942), The Blue Dahlia (1946) and Saigon (1948). As Lake's career dwindled, Ladd became a major star in Hollywood, his most memorable roles being in The Great Gatsby (1949) and Shane (1953).
This film is an adaptation of the popular Graham Greene novel A Gun for Sale.
