The Lifeguard 1976

     Rick works full-time as a lifeguard for the beaches of Los Angeles.  Even though he’s now in his 30’s, he still likes what he does and he doesn’t see a reason to change.  He’s good at what he does, he saves lives and he teaches his assistant for the summer about the job.  He goes to his 15-year high school reunion and he looks up his high school girlfriend.  He’s heard she is recently divorced and she invites him to her house.  She has a young son and she works at an art gallery.  One of Rick’s friends tells him about a job opening as a salesman at the local Porsche dealer.  Cathy would prefer being with a car salesman rather than a lifeguard?

     The hairstyles of the men are funny with the medium long hair look.  The teen boys are always causing trouble at the beach, old men don’t want to listen to the lifeguard and odd people show up from time-to-time. 3 1/2* (I liked this movie)
