'''''Ride Tonight!''''' (Swedish: '''''Rid i natt''''') is a 1942 Swedish [historical](/source/historical_film) [drama film](/source/drama_film) directed by [Gustaf Molander](/source/Gustaf_Molander) and starring [Lars Hanson](/source/Lars_Hanson), [Oscar Ljung](/source/Oscar_Ljung), [Gerd Hagman](/source/Gerd_Hagman) and [Eva Dahlbeck](/source/Eva_Dahlbeck).
