Canada Movie Reviews of LifeguardMovie Review: How did a lifeguard afford a new Corvette?
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 it for its looks at a simpler time on the beach in southern California when the guys wore Speedos unembarrassedly. There's a surprising amount of smut here. The lifeguard has sex with a 15 year old, plus his stewardess girlfriend and his high school flame. There's a message here about doing your own thing. This relic has somewhat stood the test of time.
