This Gun for Hire

	This Gun for Hire
	by Universal Studios Sales Rank: 20698 Price: $14.98

A very good film, and with very slightly better direction and a bit more depth to the bit parts it would have been up there with Casablanca among the great black and white films of the early '40s. As it is, it seems to have become almost forgotten. I'd never seen it before, and those who'd told me about it didn't seem wildly enthusiastic. Seeing it was therefore a very pleasant surprise. It zips along at a great pace; the story is intricate and exciting, yet easy to follow, and keeps you guessing, although you know it's all going to work out ok in the end. Basically, it's telling you that everyone, even hitmen with traumatized childhoods, just have to pull together in the war effort. Ladd and Lake are terrific, sharply defined and individual characters, with strongly unusual personalities --- especially Lake. Don't believe those negative reviews: they're in denial. This is an entertaining film. *Viewer Reviews* A very good film, and with very slightly better direction and a bit more depth to the bit parts it would have been up there with Casablanca among the great black and white films of the early '40s.
