An original 1976 U.S one sheet theatrical poster for the release of Car Wash, an American comedy about a day in the life of a group of oddballs working at the titular Los Angeles car wash. A large ensemble cast are played by mostly unknowns (or were at the time) but there are several big stars in small roles (George Carlin) or who appears in a single scene (Richard Pryor).
Although not quite a musical, music plays a huge role in Car Wash. The title song went to number one and became one of the biggest hits of the disco era.
The director, Michael Schultz, was one of the first successful black directors in Hollywood. His long list of credits includes Cooley High (1975), Which Way Is Up? (1977), Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978), Carbon Copy (1981) and The Last Dragon and Krush Groove(both 1985).
