Now, this movie was a surprise for me, as I didn't even know that it existed. I stumbled upon it by sheer luck in 2021 and saw that the movie had both Gene Wilder and none other than Harrison Ford on the cast list, so of course I had to watch it. And with it having Gene Wilder on the cast list, I assumed that I would be in a for a comedy of sorts, maybe in the likes of what Mel Brooks used to do.
Well, while there are comedy elements to "The Frisco Kid", it wasn't full-fledged all-out comedy like the Mel Brooks movies, but instead it was an entertaining combination of comedy and drama set in a classic Western setting. And that actually panned out nicely, because "The Frisco Kid" was an enjoyable and fun movie.
The storyline in "The Frisco Kid" was very enjoyable and there were some great and hilarious moments throughout the course of the movie, so there might be something for everyone in the audience. I thoroughly enjoyed the story that was written by Michael Elias and Frank Shaw, and brought to the screen by director Robert Aldrich.
I will say that Gene Wilder definitely delivered his trademark performance with a good sense of comedy and great timing. And it was actually nice to see Harrison Ford in a movie such as this, and he was actually well-cut out of a role in a Western movie. And it should be said that it was actually also fun to watch Clyde Kusatsu in the movie, I remember him from the movies from back when I was just a kid.
If you enjoy classic comedies, then give "The Frisco Kid" a watch. I was genuinely entertained by this movie. My rating of the 1979 movie lands on a solid six out of ten stars. This was a wholesomely entertaining and funny movie.
