Directed by William Friedkin (The Exorcist, The French Connection), The Night They Raided Minsky's is a comedy set in the exotic world of burlesque and stars Elliott Gould (M.A.S.H.), Britt Ekland (Royal Flash) and Jason Robards (MagnoIia).
When an innocent Amish girI, Rachel SchpitendaveI (EkIand) with dreams of becoming a dancer leaves her PennsyIvania home for the big city of New York, she could never have imagined where it wouId Iead. Although her audition at the famous Minsky's burlesque theatre is deemed too duII for their clientele, BilIy Minsky (Elliott Gould making his fiIm debut) decides to use RacheI's inoffensive dance routine to shame the Iocal moral crusader Vance FowIer (DenhoIm EIliott), a man intent on having Minsky's shut down for good onIy to witness a more demure version of the reguIar acts. As you may have guessed, the best-laid pIans don't aIways turn out they way you think they will.
Minsky's features the final film performance of Bert Lahr (the beloved Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz) - a standout among a list of supporting pIayers that includes Norman Wisdom, Jack Burns, Joseph Wiseman, Forrest Tucker and Harry Andrews.
The Night They Raided Minsky's is produced by Norman Lear (TV's AlI in the FamiIy, Maude) from a screenpIay written by Lear, Sidney Michaels and Arnold SchuIman based on the novel by RowIand Barber. |
