Michael Schultz's infectious, lowbrow, proletarian comedy, encompassing a single workday and the motley mass of laborers, customers, and hangers-on at the Dee-Luxe Car Wash, is full of bustle, empty of laughs. Its main appeal is the merry-go-round cast of characters: the lecherous Jewish proprietor, his Maoist son, a sulky hooker, an aspiring song-and-dance duo, a Muslim convert, a Reverend Ike-type materialistic messiah, a reckless skateboarder, an indolent receptionist who passes the day primping for her imaginary Mr. Right (suddenly he walks through the door, straight out of a Winston cigarette ad), and a feisty dude with a prodigious Afro who worships a comic-strip hero called "The Fly" (whenever he is riled, he begins to buzz). With Ivan Dixon, Richard Pryor, George Carlin. (1976) — Duncan Shepherd
