The Night They Raider Minsky's

The Night They Raided Minsky's is a comedy based on burlesque shows from the 1920's. Although the film does not particularly draw to my age group, some of the slapstick humor, as well as physical comedy made this an enjoyable viewing experience. This movie used a combination of black-and-white and color in a select few scenes in the city. The camera also employed fast motion during some scenes which aided to their comedic success. It also employed the Kuleshov Effect to a certain degree, showing the performance on stage, then showing the reaction of the audience. Overall, this film had its moments, but failed to deliver a performance that would have set it apart from others good movies.
