Movie review - "The Night They Raided Minsky's" (1969) ***

 Interesting. A movie famous because the editor claimed he saved yet. Yet it's not a classic or a big hit. I think it did okay. William Friedkin admits he didn't do a great job. Yet it wasn't At Long Last Love or Lucky Lady.

Decent production value. Too many characters to service - Forrest Tucker, Elliot Gould, Norman Wisdom and Bert Lahr feel underutilised. Jason Robards no chemistry with Britt Ekland - their romance is yuck. Ekland doens't have anything to do really until the end.

But it moves. It's colourful. There's great actors.
