The Frisco Kid (1979) is a movie I randomly watched on HBOMAX. The storyline follows a Polish Rabi who has to get to San Francisco and just happens to be trying during the gold rush. On his adventure across the west he meets a bank robber who helps him survive his trip and various encounters.
This movie is directed by Robert Aldrich (The Longest Yard) and stars Gene Wilder (Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory), Harrison Ford (Star Wars), Vincent Schiavelli (Fast Times at Ridgemont High), Ramon Bieri (The Andromeda Strain), Val Bisoglio (Saturday Nigh Fever) and George DiCenzo (Back to the Future).
There's no way watching Ford and Wilder isn't fun. Their chemistry was solid and Wilder's crazy antics mixed well with Ford's dry humor. The sets are really good and the train scene is great. The dance scene is awkward but fun. The storyline is mediocre and this wasn't as entertaining as Blazing Saddles.
Overall this isn't the greatest addition to the genre but this is definitely a must see. I would score this a 6/10 and recommend seeing it once.
