1. OMG! The Frisco Kid!

A little gem of a flick.

Gene Wilder and Harrison Ford in unique roles.
I haven't seen it in years, but it is a surprising film, all in good respects.
Wilder treads new territory here.

2. That's one I have to see.

All I've seen is the closing scenes, but I will have to catch the rest. One of my friends absolutely raves about The Frisco Kid, for multiple reasons.

3. It is a nice film. Gene and Harrison are a good team. nt
