series A Pryor Engagement
Directed by Michael Schultz | 1976
With Richard Pryor, Franklyn Ajaye, Otis Day, Darrow Igus, Antonio Fargas
The screenplay and the direction juggle the characters so adroitly, this is almost a wash-and-wax M*A*S*H.
—Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The driving disco beat of KGYS-Los Angeles sets the tone of this Altman-esque comedy singled out by Roger Ebert for its “tremendous sense of life.” At the DeLuxe Car Wash, Daddy Rich (Pryor), a gold-plated-limousine-riding evangelist who preaches the power of the dollar, rolls in flanked by a testifying entourage of the Pointer Sisters, who perform their R&B hit "You Gotta Believe" in their finest Vidal Sassoon haircuts and Halston dresses.
