Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: Gene Wilder takes his most unusual role, a naive 19th-century rabbi sent from his native Poland to the fledgling Jewish community in San Francisco, in this warm-hearted comic adventure. The trusting soul is easy prey for the con men and criminals who prey on the immigrants arriving in the Philadelphia port and the rabbi, beaten but unbowed, continues his trek West solo: broke, underequipped, and hopelessly lost. Harrison Ford, fresh from Star Wars, is the roguish outlaw who adopts the determined traveler and the two become unlikely friends as they make their way through one scrape after another. Wilder makes a sincere and sympathetic hero, his faith and courage seeing him through one crisis after another, and fresh-faced Ford makes an endearing scamp of a bank robber. The meandering adventure, overlong at two hours, takes its time as the duo traverses the gorgeous American countryside and end up in the bustling Barbary Coast San Francisco of the Gold Rush era. Legendary hard-edged action director Robert Aldrich (Kiss Me Deadly, The Dirty Dozen) brings a gentle touch and easygoing humor to this family-oriented adventure, but old habits die hard. While staying within PG parameters, Aldrich adds a little grit to the Old West fistfights and gunfights. --Sean Axmaker

Great movie; comedy, drama, adventure. Enuf said.
This is one of my favorite movies as well. I've had the VHS for years and am glad to see its finally out on DVD. Get this movie. You won't regret it.
As an aside, however, I wonder why William Smith never gets mentioned as one of the major actors in this film. Also under-rated, he's played a bad guy in biker movies, a lot of westerns, and as Clint Eastwood's nemesis in "Any Which Way You Can." He plays another bad guy here, very convincingly. Check out his Wikipedia article. Wow !! Much more to him that meets the eye.

Naive Rabbi & Weak '- tuff - cowboy ' head west ...
Gene Wilder & Harrison Ford wander around ' out there ' trying to get the designated Rabbi to San Francisco thru miscellaneous bouts of goofy adventures & misadventures along the way.
I saw this terrific flick many years ago, when it first screened, and it has stayed with me ever since !!
Such an odd story line, with these guys suiting their roles perfectly, makes for a great humourous journey for the viewer ....
Not 5 stars to me since I don't say it's the best I've ever seen regarding this genre, but it IS ... indeed a pleasing flick, for all in my opinion.
On VHS (mine) but good quality none the less. I STILL watch this goofy thing every few months.
