Shell Shocker



The war for some vets doesn't end
Their worries and wounds never mend
Through strife and malaise
and a wife that betrays,
they fight for the life of a friend

Top: Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake Above: Returning navy buddies Ladd, William Bendix and Hugh Beaumont, with police captain Tom Powers. It's the For the Love of Film (Noir) blogathon.
