Steambath (Broadway Theatre Archive) Reviews
Bill Bixby at his best
This rarely seen video was first aired in the 1970s. It discusses issues that we take for granted today, but were forming at that period of time.
The comedy throughout is satirical and delivers a strong message that crosses the boundaries of races and beliefs for everyone.
I enjoyed all the performances of the cast members and would see it again on stage if presented in a theater.
Steamy in many ways
The basic story has been told in many ways and also some variation. Much more popular when purgatory was a real place. This is a story of a hand full of characters that find them selves at a crossroads or a steambath in their afterlife. Seams that the deity (José Pérez) is the attendant who replaces towels and enjoys a good story.
The attraction on an esoteric level is how the people get along with each other. Then we have individuals contemplating past present. The steamy part of the play is Valerie Perrine; the first woman to show off her accoutrements on U.S. TV (4 May 1973) being in the altogether and filmed showering from the side.
The hinge point of this story is watching Tandy (Bill Bixby) who refuses to believe that the Attendant is the deity and is determent to get back to his former life. One can believe if he does not perturb the Attendant, Tandy just might pull it off.
