Movie Info
John Wayne portrays Singing’ Sandy Saunders and has a reputation as the most notorious gunman since Billy the Kid. That’s somewhat ironic though, since it’s later revealed that he’s a special Secret Service agent sent from Washington to investigate a land swindle scheme under the direction of town boss James Kincaid (Forrest Taylor).
Riders of Destiny is a 1933 Western (genre) musical film starring 26-year-old John Wayne as Singing’ Sandy Saunders, the screen’s second singing cowboy (the first being Ken Maynard in the 1929 film The Wagon Master). It was the first of a series of Lone Star Westerns made for Monogram Pictures by Wayne and director Robert N. Bradbury and the first pairing of Wayne with George “Gabby” Hayes.
John Wayne’s dubbed singing, which bore no resemblance to his unique speaking voice, was the reason he abandoned the singing cowboy format after only one film: he was chronically embarrassed during personal appearances when he couldn’t accommodate children who clamored for a Singin’ Sandy song. Gene Autry was chosen by the studio as Wayne’s replacement in the new genre, immediately solving the live singing problem while ushering in a much lighter take on the format than Wayne’s grimly intense rendition.
