The Frisco Kid -- a 1979 American Western comedy film directed by Robert Aldrich, starring Gene Wilder as Avram Belinski, a Polish rabbi who is traveling to San Francisco, and Harrison Ford as a bank robber who befriends him. Jordan Hiller deems it one of 25 “Essential Jewish Movies,” writing that The Frisco Kid is, “…all pratfalls and tuchus jokes aside, the quintessential 'Torah' movie."
