Big missed opportunity to have Dennis Price in your movie about people getting bumped off one by one and not have Price doing it! #driveinmob

Cyanide milk cures COVID. That's I was told when I did my own research!!!

This sparkly number is unironically a bitchin' sweater that I would pounce upon if I saw it at a thrift store fr #driveinmob

My dad in the other room just noted, "The music sounds like it's gonna segue into a Bond theme."

He even did a Shirley Bassey imitation with a falsetto, "And then there were NOOOO-OOOONNNNEEE!!!"

Thought I'd share. #driveinmob

Okay, I'm a scene behind but I had to screencap whatever Dr. Seussical pingpong ball vest creation Daliah Lavi is wearing here. #driveinmob

Leo Genn appreciation tweet. Silly movie but he makes this scene kinda moving IMO. #driveinmob

Sharing a few more striking RIDE THE PINK HORSE shots that I couldn't help but screencap (before I clean my noir-littered desktop)

Pila one of the clearest "more heroic than the hero" women in noir. ❀️ Viva Wanda Hendrix! #FilmNoirClub

Thank you for hosting! My first and certainly not my last #FilmNoirClub watch party. (And NIGHTFALL is a favorite I gotta revisit soon!)

Pila's reaction to Hugo's speech is so powerful. Thank goodness Gagin can borrow some decency from her. #FilmNoirClub

Fun behind-the-scenes picture for RIDE THE PINK HORSE that I found in an issue of Screenland: Thomas Gomez, producer Joan Harrison, and Wanda Hendrix celebrate Robert Montgomery's birthday on set. #FilmNoirClub

A perfectly framed, perfectly timed shot. Just as the baddie is about to nab our antihero, Pila picks up the bottle... #FilmNoirClub

RIDE THE PINK HORSE feels like a missing link between THE STRANGER and TOUCH OF EVIL, all of which cinematographer Russell Metty worked on. #FilmNoirClub

It’s uniqueness. I like the way it delves into the clash of cultures so insightfully and as it goes along our allegiance shifts to the locals, especially Pila. #FilmNoirClub

According to Weston East, Orson Welles was so impressed by Wanda Hendrix's performance in RIDE THE PINK HORSE that he sent a message of praise after a preview screening.

They'd act together in the entertaining period drama PRINCE OF FOXES (1949), which is worth seeking out! #FilmNoirClub
