Richard Pryor was the king of stand-up comedy in the 1970s. Hollywood studios were eager to transfer his dynamic humour and personality from the stand-up stage to the big screen. But, as it turned out, Pryor's film acting inspired far less acclaim than his stand-up performances. How did this happen? The book is designed to examine this matter in a comprehensive film-by-film analysis.

Hollywood studios were once eager to bring stand-up comedy king Richard Pryor''s dynamic humor to the big screen--so much so that studio executives gave him full access to available resources and creative control to develop his own projects. Unfortunately Pryor''s screen talents were far less acclaimed than his stage ones, and flops such as The Toy and Superman III greatly diminished his reputation. The author examines how this downfall unfolded through comprehensive analyses of each of Pryor''s movies.
