00:00The Frisco Kid, one of the great legends of the American West, actually began at a school
00:07for rabbis in Poland.
00:09So, cowboy, I am sending you to San Francisco by New York.
00:17The rabbi was fresh off the boat and ready to discover the joys of the world, like earning
00:24a living, traveling in style, and making friends.
00:36Plundered and penniless, the rabbi would need a miracle to reach his destination when along
00:41came a gunfighter to guide him.
00:43Excuse me, in the morning, would you be kind enough to point out in which direction is
00:49San Francisco?
00:50Sure.
00:51Good.
00:52You got it straight?
00:53Oh, sure.
00:54Right from this tree, I head straight north five or six weeks, till I come to the flat
01:00country.
01:01Then I make a left for two days, that way I avoid the Indians.
01:09Take a left, keepin' the ocean on my right shoulder, and just hot-tail it right into
01:14San Francisco.
01:16And even though his new friend was in a completely different line of work.
01:24Whenever things got really tough, they did their best to save each other's scalps.
01:30Can he make rain?
01:33I should have seen the rain.
01:36He does not make rain!
01:43Of course, sometimes just like that.
01:47And if you want to talk about snow.
01:49Don't talk about snow.
01:52The wildest legend ever to come out of the Wild West.
01:57Gene Wilder is the rabbi, and Harrison Ford is the gunfighter, in The Frisco Kid.
