Tuesday Nights at the Movies | The Glass Key (1942 / 85 min)

Veronica Lake and Alan Ladd shine in this 1942 noir adapted from Dashiell Hammett’s novel. Ladd is a political fixer drawn into corruption and murder, and Lake is the woman whose loyalties are never certain. The Glass Key was made just a year after the fantastically successful film version of Hammett’s The Maltese Falcon.
