It was distributed by Paramount Pictures and was one of the last films Veronica Lake made under her contract with the studio. Its four films that Ladd and Lake made together were This Gun for Hire and The Glass Key, both in 1942, The Blue Dahlia in 1946, and Saigon. While the earlier films all proved to be big box office successes, Saigon did not do as well financially. Ladd continued to be one of Paramount's top male stars, while Lake's career was in decline. By the end of 1948 her contract with Paramount had expired and the studio chose not to renew it. ## Credits - **Director:** [Leslie Fenton](https://cinepixo.com/people/leslie-fenton) - **Screenplay:** [P.
