IMDb profile |
Riders of Destiny is a 1933 Western musical film starring John Wayne as Singin' Sandy Saunders, the screen's first singing cowboy. Wayne's singing voice had to be dubbed and the film is considerably darker than the Gene Autry singing cowboy movies that followed it; Sandy would chant about "streets soon running with blood" as he walked purposefully down the street toward a showdown. The supporting cast includes George "Gabby" Hayes, Al St. John, and Yakima Canutt, and the movie was written and directed by Robert N. Bradbury.
