Color It Clean (1966)

★★★★★ · great surrealistic masterpiece · adalbert_f · 2006-07-17

wow, what a grotesque masterpiece of weirdness and surrealism. toilets and toiletbrushs all the time, it remindes me at norman bates in "psycho", but it's also just a very aesthetic (colours!) piece of art. highly recommended for lovers of surreal films. just tune off the voices, they are quite disturbing, and combine the pictures with several kinds of music. just try out - you can make a horror film out of it or a comedy. for me, by the way, its a comedy - i had to laugh when i saw every minute. they're really showing everything, it's great - like never before or again in film history.

What a great film! Days gone by are those of which men took pride in their work. I have watched this film many times and still find it relaxing and comforting in knowing that workers at least at one time enjoyed their work and didn't complain too much. For those that had a good laugh at this film, I feel you are perhaps of the younger generation and maybe a little spoiled. For those of us that worked our way up in the world... you will find this very relaxing and entertaining.

★★★★★ · One of the best Rifftrax shorts · Mesila · 2016-01-16

Rifftrax - the internet-based project from the latter-day MST3K team - made a fantastically hilarious short lampooning this film. As someone who's bought every single short film Rifftrax has given their treatment to, as well as most of the full-length films from them as well, when I say 'Color It Clean' is easily one of my top 5 favorites, it really means something. The film is funny even without the jokes, but with them, I nearly had to go use a restroom myself since I was laughing so hard. "Each urinal is special and unique as a snowflake...I named these three Whitey, Cakey and Little…

After watching this I just cant for the life of me, imagine how these cable companies would ever expect people to pay for that junk they show on TV today. This movie is really different, mesmerizing, and it actually ...I don't know...takes ya somewhere. It also has intrigue; I was wondering what next he was gonna do with that soap dispener on which he seemed to spend an inordinately large amount of time. The guy shown doing the cleaning in this film (Hance Nelson) was almost 50 when this film was made (he died in 2008 at age 90). He looks pretty darn young and fit for that age.

★★★★★ · Engaging film.... · Ryan Schweitzer · 2009-09-19

This film is one of my favorites here on this site, it's admirable what the janitors have to say about their occupation (as used in a voice-over fashion in this film). As others have metioned here, they have a work ethic that is nowadays lacking among today's folks. A quite refreshing and unique film. A bit o' trivia--as for the strange music used as the theme for this film, that tune is none other than "Stratusphunk" from the legendary Gil Evans Orchestra....! It's on their 1960 album "Out Of The Cool", one of the best jazz albums recorded, IMO...

★★★★★ · Very Effective Film · JSBejma · 2017-09-13

All I know is that halfway through this film I had to go take a piss. This is a gem.
