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 was dubbed and the film is considerably darker than the Gene Autry singing cowboy movies that followed it; Singin' Sandy's ten-gallon hat was black instead of white and he would grimly chant about "streets soon running with blood" and "you'll be drinking your drinks with the dead" as he strode purposefully down the street toward a showdown. The supporting cast includes George "Gabby" Hayes, acrobatic comedian Al St. John, and Yakima Canutt, and the movie was written and directed by Robert N. Bradbury.
