CRAZY STORY — The Mad Bomber (Irwin Corey) tells his crazy story to the car wash owner. Mr. “B" (Sully Boyar), in Universal's "Car Wash." The show plays at the Pickwick Theatre in Syracuse this week end.

'Car Wash' cleans up at Pickwick

He’s discovered, admits Michael Schultz, that a motion picture director can never call the turn on his next movie! The Hollywood newcomer who won critical plaudits for "Cooley High" was certain that he would not attempt another comedy immediately after, bill all his plans to helm a serious drama went flying out the window when he was offered Universal’s “Car Wash,” opening Friday at the Pickwick Theatre in Syracuse with 33 players starred. “I knew I’d be passing up a terrific opportunity,” he says, "because it looks at America in two different ways. In one sense, it examines a sociological aspect — the life of the manual laborer. On the other, it’s very personal, exposing us to the wishes, aspirations and tragedies of a number of people.” The characters were also an attraction for Schultz, who describes them as “very human —a mixture of good and bad. The film’s plot is a revelation of how their lives are intertwined, how they act and react to one another.” As a study of a variety of human lives. “Car Wash” runs the dramatic and emotional gamut, a state of affairs which might please any director. Schulft is no exception. “We have belly laughs, sex, misery, a robbery, love,” he gleefully recounts, "just about something for everyone.” And for Schultz himself, a challenge. After directing the actors who play the car wash regulars and the actors who turn up as customers, he characterizes the experience as “exhausting.” But nevertheless, he says, “I relished it.” “Car Wash" was produced by Art Linson and Gary Stromberg, directed by Michael Schultz in Technicolor, and written by Joel Schumacher Starred, in alphabetical order, are Frankl/a Ajaye.

New Johnny Cash film to be shown

The story is old but the perspective is up-dated and brought into sharp focus by the film “The Gospel Road” to be shown on Sunday, April 3, at Wawasee High School auditorium at 7 p.m. “The Gospel Road,” distributed by World Wide Pictures, was conceived and produced by Johnny Cash and his wife June Carter Cash, whose desire was to tell the story o‘ Jesus Christ in a realistic and meaningful way. The film is a unique blend of scripture-based narrative and abundant supply of specially written songs and a series of indepth character portrayals, with Israel itself as the mixing bowl. You are there, walking beside the Jordan, the Sea of Galilee; you are there, seeing Him in many human situations that establish a practical and personal rapport with every viewer. You are there, being introduced to the disciples and gaining insights into their varied personalities. You are there, experiencing the highly charged emotional impact of the trial before Pilate, and becoming so personally involved that you feel sympathetic pain when Robert Elfstrom, in an outstanding portrayal of Christ, suffers the physical attack that proceeds the crucifixion. Adding to the effectiveness of “The Gospel Road” in its endeavor to convey reality for this day are: the fascinating treatment of the crucifixion, making this tragedy an event of significance that reaches from its own time across the years to take on meaning for all men of all ages; and the songs and background music of JohnnyCash and other outstanding musicians, whose contemporary style is not out of keeping with the story ... a story that reveals that His darkest day has become the
