The Frisco Kid

1979 119 min PG Adventure · Comedy · Western · Drama

This kosher cowboy hasn't got a prayer -- but plenty of laughs.

The Frisco Kid treks from Poland to California as a green rabbi, only to be fleeced by stagecoach grifters before meeting a dime-novel bandit who keeps life interesting. They cross dusty frontiers dodging posses and theology alike. Its pious stranger and roguish escort make a duo so mismatched even the script seems unsure who’s leading whom.

Directed by Robert Aldrich · Written by Michael Elias, Frank Shaw

Starring Gene Wilder, Harrison Ford, Ramon Bieri, Val Bisoglio, George DiCenzo, Leo Fuchs
