Movie #3494 "The Frisco Kid" (Amazon Prime) After watching a documentary on Gene Wilder, we decided to watch some of his films we had never seen , and this one seemed obvious to see because he was paired with a young Harrison Ford. But we were very disappointed -- it seemed a one-joke movie, and even though Ford and Wilder worked well together, they couldn't make the clunky story and script they had to work with. The story was pretty stagnant through most of the film. I'd give it a 3 out of 5 and don't bother recommendation, even though I am a big fan of both actors.
