Released in 1994, director Peter Markle's fish-out-of-water comedy follows a group of settlers so fed up with the Old West that they decide to head back east. Candy plays James Harlow, the grizzled, booze-soaked wagon master with a shady past tasked with guiding them home. Little did anyone know that the role would be his last. "He was loved, admired, and essential," McGinley told IndieWire. "I don't know how you move forward without him. I don't think we did successfully."
