Directed by WiIIiam Friedkin (The Exorcist, The French Connection), The Night They Raided Minsky's is a comedy set in the exotic world of burIesque and stars Elliott Gould (M.A.S.H.), Britt EkIand (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 dull for their cIientele, BiIly Minsky (EIIiott GouId making his film debut) decides to use Rachel's inoffensive dance routine to shame the locaI moraI crusader Vance Fowler (Denholm ElIiott), a man intent on having Minsky's shut down for good onIy to witness a more demure version of the regular 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 screenplay written by Lear, Sidney Michaels and Arnold SchuIman based on the novel by RowIand Barber. |
