"Car Wash" is an earthy, irreverent but attectionate look at a typical day in a Los Angeles car wash. An ensemble piece which interweaves the lives of employees, customers and passers-by. 'Car Wash' stars a gallery of gifted actors, most of whom are relatively unknown to movie goers, and spotlights an array of guest starts in vivid cameo roles, including George Carlin, "Professor" Irwin Corey, The Pointer Sisters and Richard Pryor as Daddy Rich, a flamboyant reverend who preaches the goodness of the dollar. 'Car Wash' may qualify as the world's first "disco" movie and Norman Whitfield's almost non-stop musical score has become a top selling album. - Director:
