Can't believe I'd never seen this #filmnoir.
What other noir gets the girl to be part of bringing down spies with a convo in a car with a Senator?

I'm sad #ThisGunForHire is already over, they don't play it very often. #TCMParty #AlanLadd #VeronicaLake
According to one of my fellow noir fans over at the MI6 fan site, if "Barbie" were re-imagined as a *noir* Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake would have made a great Ken and Barbie! 🧐

Hot actors getting together ALWAYS works out well! Look at Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. Twice. 😁

Good story and great leads.

This place is called "NITRO"? What is this, "The Wages of Fear" now?

Those cops on the bridge apparently attended Stormtrooper "How to Shoot" training.

Throughout all of this, I just want to make sure that Raven's little kitten is okay.

I am guessing that, since this was made during World War II, the screenwriters shoehorned an "All Through the Night"-style "Fighting the Fifth Columnists" subplot into Graham Greene's original story:

So, Alan Ladd is trying to defeat a Fifth-Column gas plot? Well, at least it wasn't a Sixth-Column gas plot. THOSE are really tough!

It always ends at closed factory at night looking good while being condemned. #thisgunforhire #tcmparty
Holy cow! Veronica Lake sings AND does magic tricks! Yowza!

Let’s all us noir fans meet up “The Neptune Club” next weekend. #thisgunforhire #tcmparty
"How do you feel when you do...this?"
"I feel fine."
Yep! Totally not a psychopath.

Alan Ladd: Can gun down people like they're nothing one moment, but be super nice to kittens and children the next.

Remember kids, lying to Raven when answering questions he doesn’t like gets you punished. And thrown down a flight of stairs. #TCMParty #ThisGunForHire
Note to self: If Veronica Lake was my girlfriend, having her darn my socks is the least of my interests!

The book shown in the Main Title says "This Gun For Hire" when Graham Greene's novel was "A Gun For Sale."

I’m here to watch Laird Cregar #thisgunforhire #tcmparty
Don't fuck with the man's cat, honey.
