Heller In Pink Tights is a 1960 American Technicolor Western film adapted from Louis L'Amour's 1955 novel Heller with a Gun. It stars Sophia Loren and Anthony Quinn and was directed by George Cukor.[1]

The movie is noted for its lavishly ornate costumes by Edith Head and its unique visual style influenced by technical advisor George Hoyningen-Huene.

As in L'Amour's novel, there is no character in the film named Heller.
