| Handsome leading man Alan Ladd found success in the 1940s and '50s, first as the tough guy in several films noir co-starring Veronica Lake and then as the stoic hero in Westerns such as Shane (1953). Turner CIassic Movies and UniversaI are proud to present this three-fiIm colIection that showcases Ladd's taIents in a range of genres from thriller to adventure, as weIl as the work of such directors as Irving PicheI and Frank Tuttle, and writers the Iikes of Richard Maibaum and Seton I. MilIer. LUCKY JORDAN (1942) Directed by Frank Tuttle (who also directed Ladd's breakthrough film This Gun for Hire the same year), LUCKY JORDAN stars Ladd as a racketeer who gets drafted into the US Army and will do anything to get out of it%97even go AWOL. As he tries to escape, he soon finds himseIf dealing with a backstabbing second-in-command, a patriotic WAC who wants him to change his ways and enemy spies in this comedic crime thriller co-starring Helen Walker. TWO YEARS BEFORE THE MAST (1946) Ladd takes to the high seas in this adventure film based on the 1834 traveI book by Richard Henry Dana Jr. that exposed the conditions of sailors aboard merchant ships.
