Episode 254: This Gun For Hire (1942)

Welcome to It's A Wonderful Podcast!!

A formative early Noir that, while having a bunch of the typical elements found in those movies, still feels stylistically fresh and unique on this week's main show as Morgan and Jeannine talk the first pairing of one the great 1940s Noir couples, Alan Ladd & Veronica Lake in Frank Tuttle's THIS GUN FOR HIRE (1942) also starring Robert Preston & Laird Cregar!

A star-making role for Alan Ladd as the double crossed hired killer out for revenge in this entirely deceitful movie with its weak-willed cowards, immoral plotting and a casually sizzling charm from our leading two!
