Kino Lorber have detailed their upcoming Blu-ray release of Leslie Fenton's Saigon (1947), starring Alan Ladd, Veronica Lake, Douglas Dick, Wally Cassell, and Luther Adler. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on May 28.
Description: Following their noir classics This Gun for Hire, The Glass Key and The Blue Dahlia, screen legends Alan Ladd (Lucky Jordan) and Veronica Lake (The Hour Before the Dawn) team up for the fourth and final time in Saigon. After World War II, Larry (Ladd) learns that his flying buddy Mike will only live a short while longer due to shrapnel injuries. In order to finance one last wild trip for his friend, he accepts a lucrative flying job from a crooked profiteer. The plane takes off with sultry secretary Susan (Lake) on board—who, of course, falls for dashing Larry. However, danger awaits them when they're forced to land their plane—and smuggled cargo—in Vietnam, with the police hot on their trail. Directed by Leslie Fenton (Whispering Smith), Saigon is a breathtaking, romance-laden adventure for Lake and Ladd!
