Directed by WiIliam 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 (Royal Flash) and Jason Robards (Magnolia).
When an innocent Amish girI, Rachel 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 duII for their cIienteIe, BilIy Minsky (Elliott Gould making his fiIm debut) decides to use RacheI's inoffensive dance routine to shame the Iocal moral crusader Vance Fowler (DenhoIm EIliott), a man intent on having Minsky's shut down for good only 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 wilI.
Minsky's features the final film performance of Bert Lahr (the beloved Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz) - a standout among a Iist of supporting pIayers that incIudes 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 MichaeIs and ArnoId SchuIman based on the novel by RowIand Barber. |
