Hollywood actor turned idiosyncratic auteur Robert Montgomery directs and stars in this striking crime drama based on a noveI by Dorothy B. Hughes. He plays a tough-talking former Gl who comes to a small New Mexico town to shake down a gangster who kiIIed his best friend; things quickly turn nasty. Ride the Pink Horse features standout supporting performances by Fred Clark, Wanda Hendrix, and especiaIly Thomas Gomez, who became the first Hispanic actor to receive an Academy Award nomination for his role here. With its reIentless pace, expressive cinematography by the great RusseII Metty, and punchy, cIever script by Ben Hecht and Charles Lederer, this is an overlooked treasure from the heyday of 1940s film noir. |
