The Devil Thumbs a Ride (1947) Pressbook

A noir with Lawrence Tierney. From the Nitrate Diva: “This pulpy, high-octane B noir from RKO flirts so outrageously with comedy that you may not see its nastiest blows coming. Deranged tonal shifts and a farfetched plot make The Devil Thumbs a Ride more disturbing than many comparatively somber and cohesive entries in the noir canon. Murder, sadism, depravity, greed, and betrayal: that’s business as usual. But peppered with wacky sitcom-style hijinks? Now that’s twisted.” Ditto, I say. There are slick slacks noirs, almost noirs, and plain trousers noirs; then there’s this one with  Lawrence Tierney.
