Ava Gardner said to Lake: "With a face and figure like yours you could start a war." Lake replied: "I believe we are at war; the question is, can a face and figure like mine stop it?" Veronica Lake is said to have been so disarmingly beautiful that she looked as if she had been preserved on ice before each scene: her skin, hair, eyes - everything was peerless. As for height, it's a moot point: she was proportioned to perfection, and she killed taller women with just her face alone
Veronica was a crazy alcoholic bitch. Who knows how many degenerates had a go at defiling her over the years. Wonderful and exciting! Look at her bad teeth in the masterpiece Flesh Feast (1970). She wears them as a medal commemorating a life lived with gusto, an authentic life lived in alleyways and dumpsters . Beautiful!
Veronica's beauty is showcased magnificently in Flesh Feast (1970), during which she asks a gurney-strapped Adolf Hitler if he likes her little maggots. Sublime.
I think she was gratified to have an opportunity to display her love of country in play-acting the application of voracious maggots to Adolf Hitler's flesh. Too bad this wasn't a porn flick, she could have been masturbating too.
Veronica handles the maggots deftly because she had practice, while living in alleys around Union Station.
Nancy Walker does a super quick impersonation of Veronica in the MGM movie Best Foot Forward when she sings, 'The Three B's" aka The Barrel House,the Boogie Woogie and the Blues. Walker covers her eye ala Peek-a-boo. Superhartline.
There's actually just as much, maybe even more talent and beauty these days. People just don't wanna see it until it's not there to have anymore. Quit chasing ghosts.
Not that Veronica wasn't beautiful. She was a drop dead f****n gorgeous babe..
@trypticon101 absolutely impossible "more talent and beauty".there is talent and beauty nowadays but not like this. girls need to be half-naked all the time and boys to have a hot body to be considered beautiful and hot. at this time, it was better. and i prefer chase ghosts like veronica or marilyn monroe and marlon brando than britney, lady gaga or brad pitt.
4'-11", blonde and beautiful. Why can't Hollywood find talent and beauty like this anymore? Veronica Lake, you are indeed timeleless. Thanks for posting.
I like your video clip and have rated it as awesome. Please view my clip of some rare 1930's movie star cards, including Veronica Lake , Judy Garland, Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Frank Sinatra, Gregory Peck, Errol Flynn,
Ronald Regan, Lauren Bacall, Bing Crosby and many more.
@Fiftiesflashback OK. What magic does she do during that scene? DaveHolm said in an earlier comment that she didn't do any other magic in this movie besides this scene. Are there clips of it available on YouTube?

that dress was designed by Edith Head, a magician in her own right.
most probably schizophrenic but Veronica was a knockout.

Great movie (This Gun for Hire); great scene.

Besides this scene, does Miss Lake perform any other magic tricks in this movie, or any other movies, for that matter?
TheMatrix72370 5 years ago
In this movie, none. I'm not sure about her other work. Perhaps as a witch in the film, I Married A Witch. Some clips are posted on yt.

@daveholm Oddly enough, she didn't do any magic tricks like this in I Married A Witch.

Check out:
Veronica Lake - I Got You Right Where I Wanted
It is the second "production number" in this film, THIS GUN FOR HIRE. Effective, but Now You See It is my personal favorite.
