He was often paired with Veronica Lake, in noirish films such as "This Gun for Hire" (1942), "The Glass Key" (1942) and "The Blue Dahlia" (1946).

"Whispering Smith", his first Western and color film, (1948) and "The Great Gatsby" (1949).

The production was plagued by location difficulties, story problems and budgetary disagreements for a project that was mainly considered a risk to the studio.
However, when Ladd saw the audience's rapturous appreciation of the film at its first public screening at the Northpoint Theatre in San Francisco in early May 1977, he was moved to tears at seeing the unlikely production he and Stulberg had supported against all odds.
"Star Wars" and "Alien" were a few of the films produced during his tenure.

He enjoyed successes with comedies such as "Night Shift" (1982) and "Police Academy" (1984), Oscar-winners "Chariots of Fire" (1981), "The Right Stuff" (1983), and "Gone Baby Gone" (2007).
The company also produced "Blade Runner" (1982).
