Movie Review - This Gun For Hire
This Gun For Hire (1942)
directed by Frank Tuttle
rating: 4 out of 5 jalapeños
on DVD from As Seen On TV
"Cruelty" is another of the many reasons that these Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake pairings are so good. Cruel men and cruel women, cruel chance, cruel fate. It's almost as if an hour and a half is all the audience should be able to take, like it's us tortured, not them. But no. Here, even eighty minutes beats your shortest hour.
