Drama
Avram Belinski (Gene Wilder), a Polish rabbi, is 87th of 88 graduates in his Yeshiva class of 1850. His graduation "gift?" A one way ticket to San Francisco to become the rabbi at a new synagogue.
In this ultimate Western comic road trip, Avram falls in with con men, a bank robber, Indians, and Trappist monks as he travels across the country.
One critic thought that Wilder "gave one of his very best performances" in the film; another wrote that not many actors have been "so willing to celebrate their culture and religious convictions as Wilder does here, perhapsa trait he picked up from [Mel] Brooks."
