They made quite the pair together. Saw them onscreen in This Gun For Hire and The Glass Key (both from 1942) and The Blue Dahlia (1946).

If you count the film noir parody 'Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid' (1982) in which they both appear, I think they appear in eight films : 'The Glass Key' (1942), 'This Gun For Hire' (1942), 'Star Spangled Rhythm' (1942), 'Duffy's Tavern' (1945), 'The Blue Dahlia' (1946), 'Variety Girl' (1947) and 'Saigon' (1948) being the others.

Lake and Ladd were in the cast of seven movies, but I have only seen three: The Blue Dalia, The Glass Key, and This Gun For Hire. I’m going to have to bear down. But Variety Girl (1947), Duffy’s Tavern (1945) and Star Spangled Rhythm (1942) look like those musical extravaganzas where a boat load of movie stars show up as themselves for a very brief moment. Might skip those. That leaves only Saigon (1947) which I will try to find in the next week or so. So, they only acted together in four dramas, but what an impact they had.

That leaves only Saigon (1947) Saigon is mediocre. You haven't missed much. |

That leaves only Saigon (1947) Saigon is mediocre. You haven't missed much. It's just as well. I was searching for it earlier today when at least two sites gave me this message: "Saigon featuring Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake is not currently available to stream, rent, or buy but you can add it to your want (sic) to see list for updates." So, after your assessment, I won't grieve too hard. |
