She gets a job at Minsky's burlesqu e house, where the dance numbers are "Biblical" only when some gum-chewing stripper performs Salome's Dance of the Seven Veils. The many subplots le ading up to Rachel's accidental invention of the striptease during a midni ght Minsky's show involve many: top banana Chick Williams (Norman Wisdom) and womanizing straight-man Raymond Paine (Jason Robards Jr.)\; Billy Mins ky (Elliot Gould), whose efforts to stage girlie shows at the National Win ter Garden are looked down upon by Minsky Sr. (Joseph Wiseman), who holds the lease on the theater\; gangster Trim Houlihan (Forrest Tucker), who in tends to shut down Minsky's if he can't get a piece of the action\; Ekland 's preacher father Harry Andrews, who shows up in New York just in time to see his daughter bare all in front of a cheering audience\; and Vance Fow ler (Denhom Elliot), self-appointed protector of public morals, whom Paine hopes to embarrass by having Rachel perform her religious dance. A straig htforward adaptation of Rowland Barber's novel The Night They Raided Minsk y's would seem to be called for here, but novice director William Friedkin and film editor Ralph Rosenblum seem determined to turn the film into a k aleidoscope Hard Day's Night clone. Happily, producer Norman Lear is able to accommodate several nostalgic re-creations of such burlesque chestnuts as "Crazy House" and "Meet Me Round the Corner," as well as six delightful in-period songs penned by Bye Bye Birdie's Charles Strouse and Lee Adams, the best of which is the ribald "Perfect Gentleman."
