The Frisco Kid

Director: Robert Aldrich
Release Date:

It's 1850 and new rabbi Avram Belinski sets out from Philadelphia toward San Francisco. Cowpoke bandit Tom Lillard hasn't seen a rabbi before. But he knows when one needs a heap of help. And getting this tenderfoot to Frisco in one piece will cause a heap of trouble - with the law, Native Americans and a bunch of killers. Gene Wilder and Harrison Ford are one feisty team as rabbi and rescuer in this rough-'n'-ready romp that rivals Wilder's earlier Blazing Saddles in Wild West hilarity. Director Robert Aldrich is a seasoned hand at blending roughhouse and laughter, as fans of his earlier The Dirty Dozen and The Longest Yard will attest. With a full posse of screen talents, The Frisco Kid rides tall in the comedy saddle.

They do not make them like this anymore!

This is an absolutely delightful movie. I highly recommend it. Give some nice positive view of Jewish culture and the ability to be a blessing and light in a world of pain and darkness.


Great movie

One of my favorites by Gene Wilder with Harrison Ford.


love this movie

this movie makes me smile every time i watch it!


Nothing Wilder about this one

Do yourself a favor and don't tarnish your fond memories of Gene Wilder with Frisco Kid. Watch Young Frankenstein again. Now. That's a funny movie. This is not.


Time Worn Jewish Jokes

Meh… cool to see Gene and Harrison in their younger days, still developing character. But the script is HORRIBLE, boring, and so formulaic.
