sidekick type, willing to put his life on the line for a handsome caballero he knows absolutely zero about&#8221;, and adding, &#8220;The film isn&#8217;t racist because it shows Gagin [Montgomery] and Marjorie [King] ignoring Pila or condescending to her, but because it idealizes her as a non-white &#8216;princess&#8217;, who is magical but cannot end up with the hero.&#8221; Savant argues that Mexican-Americans are ultimately presented as &#8220;quaint, sentimentalized&#8221; and &#8220;do[ing] good things for no reward except to share in the suffering, and when all is done they go back to being quaint.&#8221; While this all seems accurate, I view the film as very much a vision of how <em>Gagin<\/em> sees the world around him, and these depictions ring true to his sensibility; he grows in his cultural understanding and empathy by spending time with people (Mexican-Americans) who are authentically trustworthy, and perhaps that&#8217;s a realistic enough shift.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Robert Montgomery as Lucky Gagin<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ride-the-Pink-Horse-Montgomery.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ride-the-Pink-Horse-Montgomery.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ride-the-Pink-Horse-Montgomery.png 640w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ride-the-Pink-Horse-Montgomery-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ride-the-Pink-Horse-Montgomery-128x96.png 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Thomas Gomez as Pancho<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ride-the-Pink-Horse-Gomez.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ride-the-Pink-Horse-Gomez.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ride-the-Pink-Horse-Gomez.png 640w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ride-the-Pink-Horse-Gomez-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ride-the-Pink-Horse-Gomez-128x96.png 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Wanda Hendrix as Pila<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ride-the-Pink-Horse-Hendrix.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ride-the-Pink-Horse-Hendrix.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ride-the-Pink-Horse-Hendrix.png 640w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ride-the-Pink-Horse-Hendrix-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ride-the-Pink-Horse-Hendrix-128x96.png 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Fred Clark as Frank Hugo<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ride-the-Pink-Horse-Clark.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ride-the-Pink-Horse-Clark.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ride-the-Pink-Horse-Clark.png 640w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ride-the-Pink-Horse-Clark-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ride-the-Pink-Horse-Clark-128x96.png 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Atmospheric cinematography<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ride-the-Pink-Horse-Cinematography2-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ride-the-Pink-Horse-Cinematography2-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-63567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ride-the-Pink-Horse-Cinematography2-1.png 640w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ride-the-Pink-Horse-Cinematography2-1-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ride-the-Pink-Horse-Cinematography2-1-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Ride-the-Pink-Horse-Cinematography2-1-360x270.png 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nYes, once;
