- On October 20, 2019, TCM showed "This Gun for Hire" (1942) on its weekly "Noir Alley" show (Saturday night at midnight ET, repeating Sunday morning at 10:00 a.m. ET). Here is the intro by host Eddie Muller, aka The Czar of Noir.
Eddie's terrific in these. Avoids spoilers, but gives us real insight into filmmaking nonetheless. Bravo!
agreed & that's how reviews are supposed to be like.
I'd even forgotten Robert Preston was in this. If asked I would have described Ladd and Lake as the stars, and Cregar as the most important featured player. And the woman who mistreats the cat in the opening scene as the villain!
John F. Seitz later photographed most of Billy Wilder's movies through SUNSET BLVD.
That's quite the recommendation.
Thank you, CT, for posting all of these. Well done.
Thank you . I loved Veronica Lake and felt the tragedy of Alan Ladd's character. He saw the possibility of a different life when it was too late.His death was the logical result of the life he led. We can really wish for mercy for his battered soul.
This is my favorite movie. And Alan Ladd is my favorite actor.
No better match up than Vero ica Lake and Alan Ladd
Veronica Lake was not 4'11. She was just under 5'2.
Double Indemnity came out in 1944.
