Let Me Entertain You
Although the story line of The Night They Raided Minsky’s was more silly than funny, quite a few laughs can still be had from this salute to the good old days of burlesque. It even has Bert Lahr in the cast who was a veteran of that venue of entertainment.Amish girl fresh off the farm Britt Eklund has been given a calling to dance a practice forbidden by her sect. But even with father Harry Andrews in pursuit from the Pennsylvania Dutch Country, Britt is pursuing her dream of interpretive religious dance. Why she didn’t seek out Martha Graham instead of Minsky’s is beyond me.
Her innocence is so beguiling she has comedy team Jason Robards, Jr., and Norman Wisdom panting after her in heat. Gangster Forrest Tucker is looking and even Elliott Gould who is the Minsky who runs the burlesque theater on property his father owns hasn’t missed her at all.
I did love Jason Robards who apparently has a line for just about every occasion and whose gift of gab gets him out of some tight spots. And Denholm Elliott the pompous moralizing professional do-gooder also has some noticeable moments.
This film was Bert Lahr’s farewell performance. Lahr was terminally ill when he did the film and didn’t finish his role and it was edited around. He doesn’t look very good and is remarkably subdued from the Bert Lahr were used to seeing.
Weakest part of the film was the musical score by Strouse and Adams. They’ve done far better on Broadway, still it’s serviceable enough and Eklund’s alleged invention of the striptease worth the wait.
Fans of the cast members will like The Night They Raided Minsky’s.
