Fun City Editions is preparing a Blu-ray release of Daniel Petrie's Lifeguard (1976), starring Sam Elliott, Anne Archer, Stephen Young, Parker Stevenson, and Kathleen Quinlan. The upcoming release will introduce an exclusive new 4K restoration of the film.
Description: "Every girl's summer dream." It looks as if Rick Carlson (Sam Elliott) has it made. He's bright and good-looking. He's also the lifeguard on a stretch of California beach that has more than its fair share of tanned bodies and beautiful girls. But Rick is at the crossroads of his life. His friends and family are pushing him to get a "real" job but, at this point, Rick's not so sure what "real" is. Elliott drew waves of accolades for his sensitive and sexy portrayal of the aging title character who's compelled to reassess his life and career.
