Three Western stars (Martin Short, Steve Martin, Chevy Chase) from Hollywood silent films go to Mexico for what they assume will be a publicity appearance, and find they've actually been summoned to fight a local bandit. John Landis directed this 1986 comedy with self-conscious artifice, and it's hard to get into his self-congratulatory joke. Even the three main stars, brilliant comics all, can't sustain anything funny in it. --Tom Keogh

A historic town with a modern-day appeal, Chevy Chase began to develop in the late 1800s, and now includes the original Village, Martins Addition, and Sections Three, Four and Five. Located just outside the boundary of Washington, D.C., the Town still retains its original village atmosphere, with leafy streets showcasing some of the area’s most beautiful colonial, Victorian, and Spanish-influenced homes. Chevy Chase possesses an intimate, small-town feel, but boasts amenities that are found in much larger communities, given its close proximity to Bethesda and Washington, D.C.

Chevy Chase was once widely considered the funniest man in America. As a skitwriter on the original Saturday Night Live and the first anchor of "Weekend Update", he virtually invented the satirical newscast, and after leaving SNL he became a bona fide movie star, with several comedies that were funny and well-received. Born Cornelius Chase, he was nicknamed "Chevy" by his grandmother, presumably for the Maryland suburb. As a struggling comic, he worked as a waiter and wrote for the Smothers Brothers and National Lampoon. He was a regular on The Great American Dream Machine, a short-running and long-forgotten sketch comedy show in 1971.

Chase was the first member of the original SNL cast to leave the show in 1976, and has said that he regrets leaving after just a year-and-a-half. However, Chase was never friendly with most of the cast; a rivalry with John Belushi went all the way back to their work on the National Lampoon radio show. By the time he left, early in the second season, Chase couldn't even get along with Lorne Michaels, the show's creator and producer. After leaving SNL, Chase moved to Los Angeles and married his girlfriend, Jacqueline Carlin. Chase continued to make the cameo appearance here and there as the second season wound down; one of the more memorable ones was when he appeared on "Jeopardy 1999", a sketch in which the popular game show was set in the future (at that time, 1976) and hosted by Steve Martin, who was that week's SNL host. One of the questions on the show was "His Career Fizzled After Leaving Saturday Night". The punchline was that nobody could answer the question, because no one could remember who that person was whose career fizzled after leaving SNL, even the character played by Chase.
