Title: Fine Early Effort From Friedkin
Review: "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.
