the chemistry between thes two great noir stars is awesome. The wry smiles, facial expressions, and eye contact have never been equaled.

Ladd and Lake were the greatest screen couple of all time. I only wish they had done more films together.

I always wondered if Veronica could have replaced Jean Arthur in Shane. I think that V. L. might have been to sexy.

I like Lake and Ladd, but "the greatest screen couple of all time"?

They've fast become one of my favourite screen pairings after recently seeing them together in The Glass Key and, earlier This Gun For Hire. I wish so much they'd made a few more films together.

The Blue Dahlia is another good one with the two of them, in case you haven't seen it.

When watching This Gun for Hire, I just couldn't wait for the next scene with these two.
