 The Night They Raided MinskyMar 27, 2010
It brings back the old vaudeville shows when I was young. Thanks for the memories
A GREAT old movieNov 24, 2009
Minsky's is a great comedy about the days of vaudeville vs. Burlesque and a naive young girls venture into show business. Just a delightful story, a lot of laughs and generally entertaining.
Better than most TV....try it!

A obscure classic,,,Feb 21, 2009
I first saw this film while I was stationed in Iceland, It was broadcast from Denmark or Norway, A very Late night movie. I remember trying to watch it through static and snow, and never saw it again.. The film is a accurate look at Vaudille for 1925. One of the Minsky family was a production consultant. Brit Ekland is beutiful as always (no plastic surgery on her) Jason Robards was also very convincing as well. One high point is the appearance of Burt Lahr (The cowardly lion) in what I think is his final film. All of the skits that were performed came from actual shows from the 1920's.

Fine Early Effort From FriedkinOct 13, 2008
"The Night They Raided Minsky's" is what I would call a qualified success. It offers some insight into burlesque circa 1925 New York. The dialogue, delivered in rat-a-tat fashion, is hit or miss but gets the bullseye most of the time. What distinguishes the film is the direction of William Friedkin who fluorished in the Seventies only to peter out somewhere around "Cruising". Here, Friedkin is surehanded delivering a film of both style and substance. This is a crisply edited film that delivers eyedropping visuals with it's stunning art direction and costume design. The cast is littered with pros but the film's rapid-fire pacing doesn't really allow anybody to shine though I did like a young Elliott Gould as the show promoter and Denholm Elliott as a legion-of-decency type. This film interested me because of Friedkin's presence behind the camera but others should enjoy it as well. Now if they would only put "The Brink's Job" out on disc.
