''Ride the Pink Horse'' (1947) is a UsefulNotes/FilmNoir directed by Creator/RobertMontgomery, starring Creator/Robert Montgomery, Thomas Gomez, and Wanda Hendrix.

Gagin (Montgomery) rolls into San Pablo, a Mexican border town readying itself for the local fiesta against the god of bad luck. Amid the festive spirits, Gagin has a rather grim task on mind: avenge his best friend who was killed by Hugo, a big shot gangster.
While on this quest, Gagin is followed by a FBI man who wants to deter him from any involvement with Hugo, and a wayward girl named Pila (Hendrix) who warns him of impending death. Along the way, a drunk carousel owner, Pancho (Gomez) helps Gagin with his mysterious mission where no one is sure what they want.

Thomas Gomez was nominated for an UsefulNotes/AcademyAward for his role as Pancho, the first Latin American ever nominated.

!!This film displays the following tropes:
*BittersweetEnding: Gagin doesn’t get his revenge but is a better person. He gives Pila a chaste kiss on the cheek and rides off on the Greyhound bus to nowhere in particular.
*Chiascuro: Although an “exotic” setting, the film takes place mostly in the dimly lit black and white shades of night.
*TheIngenue: Pila is very innocent but also fiercely protective of Gagin and saves him on several occasions.
*GoSeduceMyArchNemisis: Hugo sends his girlfriend to seduce Gagin and pretend she’s on his side. She makes a rather unconvincing FemmeFatale as her little plan doesn’t work as well as she had hoped.
*KnightInSourArmour: Gagin is a man of little words and sarcastic temperament.
*FakeNationality: Hendrix plays a Mexican girl in BrownFace. Contrarily, Thomas Gomez was Latin American, but not Mexican.
*LocalHangout: Las Tres Violetas is where all the locals drink their potent tequila and where Gagin hides out with Pila from Hugo’s henchmen.
*RealityHasNoSubtitles: Whenever a local speaks Spanish, there is no translation provided for the audience.
*TitleDrop: There are no real horses but merely Pancho’s carousel ride which Pila rides and then serves as a hideout.
