Pendant la conquête de l'Ouest, un rabbin polonais vient aux Etats-unis fonder une synagogue à San Francisco. Son voyage à travers le pays ne se fait pas sans difficultés. Il est menacé par les hors-la-loi et les indiens et se lie d'amitié avec un voleur de banques. (texte officiel du distributeur)
Critiques (1)
"Where you born at?" - "Poland." - "Is that near Pittsburgh?" - "No, that's near Czechoslovakia." - "Oh, ok..." A terribly long and unfunny attempt at a western buddy movie, the script of which is very poor. Gene Wilder excellently alternating comedic and more serious positions and the young handsome Harrison Ford do their best, but it is hardly enough. Among other things, I was struck by the shoddy and cheap-looking production design (perhaps only the Jewish-western music had something to it) and, with a few exceptions, Aldrich's rather routine, ordinary direction.
