Description:
Sam Elliot drew waves of accolades for his sensitive and sexy portrayal of aging lifeguard Rick Carlson, who's compelled to reassess his life and career as a professional lifeguard. To keep things status quo or pursue things status-conscious - that's Carlson's dilemma. It's an agonizing decision compounded on one side by an adoring beach groupie (Quinlan) and on the other by a former high school flame (Archer) that's game for rekindling, but only if he's serious about trading in his swimsuits for three-piece suits.

In 1975 this film was released, and at the age of 14 the movie was about everything I wanted to be, or thought I wanted to be, when I grew up. I finally saw it again, thirty years later, time of course changed that, but it's still a nostalgic film, and a very good one at that.
Like a lot of films from that era, there are aspects of it that are dated, especially in it's look, the costumes, hair styles, and attitude. But there's something wondrous about Sam Elliot's character (Rick), ... Read More

Sam Elliott, all blow-dried and mustachioed in vintage 70s looks, tools around in a brand new Corvette in this 1975 film while still a county lifeguard at age 32. He makes 10 grand a year. He couldn't afford the car in reality. But is 32 so old? Today there are probably plenty of 30 something lifeguards, but this movie makes anyone over 30 seem vintage. The 1960 high school reunion is a hoot. I realized "Moon River" was their 1960 hit song. Gad, this movie came out a long time ago. And yet, I enjoyed ... Read More

i (suspect like the other people writing reviews here) still like this very 70s film for the same reasons i did when i saw it theatrically at 12 or 13 . the lifeguard's first lover (an absolutely lovely flight attendant) is given a fairly copious ammount of fully nude screen time . a buxom woman in the surf has her swim top torn off by a gaggle of horny teens . we DO see the result . we see ANNE ARCHER'S breast in another scene of love making . etc . all in a PG film to boot . lots of swim suited young ...

Get a load of Sam Elliott driving his Corvette barefoot! I did things like that in the 70s, and would probably still do them today if I could get away with it. It's the kind of stuff that makes a bad movie great!
And a movie worth owning for its historical value alone. Plus, it's amusing and excruciating at the same time.
This five-star pick is an absolutely horrible movie, a shallow tale, one that I'll bet Sam Elliott is embarassed by (understandably), and probably posterity's ... Read More

I was introduced to Sam Elliott in this movie (I was a high school sophomore then)and have been a FAN ever since. I love his voice and he is just plain sexy! I never pass up a Sam Elliott movie, especially this one!
