Be quiet! I'll deal with you in a minute. It's the bottom of the ninth and the Dodgers are batting.
This promotional photo of Veronica Lake was made for her 1944 war thriller The Hour Before Dawn. It's the second promo from the film we've shared. It's hard for us to even conceive of Lake apart from her three major noirs This Gun for Hire, The Blue Dahlia, and The Glass Key, but she made more than thirty other movies we're guilty of not seeing. We'll remedy that soon.

Above: Veronica Lake stars in a menacing promo photo made for her 1944 spy movie The Hour Before Dawn. She plays a pure femme fatale, a bad woman living in London as a double agent in the employ of the Third Reich. The movie was poorly reviewed, but we give this image five stars.
