Larry Karaszewski on

Car Wash

Released 1976
Distributor Universal Pictures

Director Michael Schultz’s 1976 comedy about a typical day in an L.A. car wash is energized by a loose-limbed band of comedians and eccentrics including Bill Duke, George Carlin, Irwin Corey and Antonio Fargas. Richard Pryor makes a memorable cameo as the mercenary bible thumper “Daddy Rich” and The Pointer Sisters are on hand as his back-up singers. Even its most pointed satire is good-natured – with its sprawling cast it feels like a Robert Altman movie with nothing on its mind but fun.
