This Gun For Hire

Alan Ladd, Veronica Lake

Badly dated noir from the late 40's, when Hollywood made movies set in a peculiar reality that looked for all the world like a sound stage. Coincidences were so common they became the norm.

This was adapted from a novel by Graham Greene and displayed his trademark sour take on his fellow man but since this was set in this country it lacked the touch of exotica that made his best work palatable.
