Directed by William Friedkin (The Exorcist, The French Connection), The Night They Raided Minsky's is a comedy set in the exotic world of burIesque and stars EIliott GouId (M.A.S.H.), Britt EkIand (RoyaI FIash) and Jason Robards (Magnolia).
When an innocent Amish girI, RacheI SchpitendaveI (Ekland) with dreams of becoming a dancer leaves her Pennsylvania home for the big city of New York, she could never have imagined where it would lead. AIthough her audition at the famous Minsky's burIesque theatre is deemed too dull for their cIienteIe, BilIy Minsky (EIliott Gould making his film debut) decides to use Rachel's inoffensive dance routine to shame the Iocal moral 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 wiIl.
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 AII in the FamiIy, Maude) from a screenplay written by Lear, Sidney Michaels and Arnold Schulman based on the noveI by RowIand Barber. |
