THIS GUN FOR HIRE
starstarstarstarstar
This outstanding film noir, adapted from Graham Greene's novel A Gun For Sale, presents one of the most disturbed — and disturbing — killers ever to cross the screen. Alan Ladd stars as Philip Raven, a hit man who's scary simply because he doesn't care; he's a killing machine, hired out by whoever will pay. Veronica Lake costars as a bewitching chanteuse whom Raven meets on a train, and who just happens to be the girlfriend of a LAPD detective (Robert Preston).

When Rich gets a load of Laura's shrine-o'-newspaper-clippings, he tells her, "I thought I'd gone overboard." Guess what, Surface cast? I'm instituting a dollar-a-pun rule — it's a crisp greenback in the jar every time you spout a bit of cutesy, water-related dialogue. (Uh-oh. I don't owe a buck for "spout," do I?) After some death-defying highway hot-doggery, the pair manage to score their first above-water sighting — alongside an entire marina full of tourists. We've got monster on tape! Oh wait, no we don't. Thanks a lot, electromagnetic superpowers. Whose side are you on, anyway? Hip! Hip! Hooray for the B-story: Nim's loose in the Piggly Wiggly! Now this is the sort of read more
