The Night They Raided Minsky's

Movie Information

Rachel arrives in New York from her Amish community intent on becoming a dancer. Unfortunately, Billy Minsky's Burlesque is hardly the place for her Dances From The Bible. But the show's comedian Raymond sees a way of wrong-footing the local do-gooders by announcing the new Paris sensation, "Madame Fifi," and putting on Rachel's performance as the place is raided. All too complicated, the more so since her father is scouring the city for her and both Raymond and his straight-man Chick are falling for Rachel.—Jeremy Perkins {J-26}
