Steambath
Description
Bruce Jay Friedman's razor-sharp and still outrageous comedy portrays God as an overworked steambath attendant who doles out "wrath" and "blessed events" in between assignments of scrubbing floors and walls. Bill Bixby and Valerie Perrine star, along with Jose Perez as the wisecracking, blasé, card-trick-playing Lord, who watches while a collection of assorted types - a juvenile delinquent, an old time seaman, a naked ingénue, a Jewish guy nurtured on 1930s culture, a pair of elderly homosexual men, and a gambler addicted to the stock market - sit amid the sweat and mist, seemingly uncertain of exactly why they are there.
