Richard Pryor: Live and Smokin'

A revolutionary African-American comedian, Richard Pryor set the stage for the brash, no-hold's-barred comedy practiced by later comic successes like Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle. His soulful performance-and his legacy-are captured in LIVE AND SMOKIN', released in 1985 but filmed 15 years earlier at New York City's Improvisation. Included among the funny, wide-ranging (and often vulgar) skits is the now famous "Wino Preacher and Willie the Junkie" sequence. Special Features: Full Frame - 1.33 Audio: Dolby Digital 2.0 English Runtime: 46 Minutes.
