If a director's job is to come up with creative ways to convey who characters are and the deeper meaning of their circumstances, Montgomery earns a gold star.

An exciting film noir gem ripe for rediscovery.
October 28, 2020 | Rating: 45 | Full Review… -
It shows Montgomery still taking chances, retaining some seriously robust cinematic flair, courtesy director of photography Russell Metty. There are lots of long, fluid takes and a very heavy atmosphere throughout.

The film is both tough and touching, with crackling dialogue (scripted by the great Ben Hecht and Charles Lederer) and stylized scenes...

The plot isn't the attraction here; instead, it's the intriguing relationships between the characters, the black-and-white camerawork by the great Russell Metty (Touch of Evil, Spartacus), and the scintillating performances by all concerned.

An under-seen but highly-recommended film.

Audience Reviews for Ride the Pink Horse

Mar 08, 2020There's a lot to admire about this film noir. There's a scene where a character is being beaten by some henchmen and the camera captures it in the background as its focused on kids going round-and-round on a Merry-Go-Round. There's the opening tracking shot that left Martin Scorsese wondering how director Robert Montgomery was able to pull it off (mentioned in the Criterion DVD). There's Thomas Gomez's performance that earned him a Supporting Actor nomination, the first for a Hispanic actor. Was disappointed to hear that an Anglo was playing the role of Pila, but as the movie went on Wanda Hendrix's Pila cast a spell. What a wonderful character. She saved the soul of the protagonist and captured mine. Hendrix made that possible with her quietly effective performance. The end of the movie, when she holds court with her peers, is one of the finest "Hollywood" endings ever.Aldo G Super Reviewer
