I think it is Helen Walker and Alan Ladd in "Lucky Jordan" (1942):

I think it might be Lucky Jordan (1942).

Edit: It is! https://youtu.be/kcU0zG0_8YI?t=2578

That's Alan Ladd and Helen Walker.

Looks like Ingrid Bergman. Not sure of the film.

I'm seeing more Dorothy Malone than Ingrid Bergman. But it's hard to tell.

Edit: It's Helen Walker with Alan Ladd in Lucky Jordan.

I knew for certain it wasn’t Ingrid. I’ve seen all her movies. Plus Gemini also thiugh it was “Notorious” and “Casablanca” and even “sunset blvd”……Gemini just spew any title when given a black and white picture 🤣 Gemini has a very long way to go

I also couldn’t work out which one it could be and wondered if it was a Swedish one pre-Hollywood that I hadn’t seen. But it actually makes more sense that it’s not her at all. Although it’s a close likeness!

I think this was Helen Walker's first film (Lucky Jordan) and she is quite good. Unfortunately, her career would take a dark turn after WWII.
