About this product

Product Information

A raucous and convoluted comic masterpiece packed with all the irreverent spirit of the late-1960s, William Friedkin's THE NIGHT THEY RAIDED MINSKY'S is a hilarious social critique of the perrenial American clash between cosmopolitan arts and puritanical roots. When young Rachel Schpitendavel (Britt Ekland) abandons her rural Amish home for a life as a dancer in New York, she finds herself at Minsky's burlesque, a family operation changing hands from the conservative and skeptical father, Louis Minsky (Joseph Wiseman), to the liberal and daring young son, Billy Minsky (Elliot Gould). Plagued by a dour moral crusader threatening to have the city shut the place down for obscenity, Minsky and company concoct a plan to humiliate the police by advertising a striptease but then switching the program to Rachel's Amish biblical dance at the last moment. Things don't go according to plan when Rachel's furious Amish father, her lovesick gangster boyfriend, and her fellow actors' backstage fight for her love all clash in a climactic catastrophe that results in the surprising accidental invention of the striptease.

Great title. It fits well with people, places and situations of the story.
Great story. I had seen this movie at the Drive Inn and thought that I would get it and see those parts that I missed while otherwise occupied!

A must have for movie collectors
This is a fun movie to watch again and again. Looked very good playing on a 4k blu ray player connected to a 4k tv. Pacing is good throughout and the performances were very good. Brought back many memories of a by gone era. Would like to see this one redone on 4k with HDR/Dolby Atmos and DTS Master sound 7.1 or Atmos sound mix.

A very entertaining movie with a fictional account of how striptease began. Not really to far off the mark. the script could have been better.
THERE IS NO DUAL SIDE? The package arrived as described a DVD with one side "The Night They Raided Minsky's" and nothing on the reverse side thus it is not a dual sided disc? I am glad I ordered.
