Sunset Cove is a low budget Teen Comedy from Al Adamson film from 1977-78 thought to be lost. Severin has found a great print which they released on Blu Ray in the Adamson "Masterpiece" collection. The film is a retread of the numerous teen comedies of that era. The plot revolves around a group of Teenagers trying to save the local beach from being bought out by shady businessmen who are going to redevelop the land into Condos. Outside of a quick cameo from John Carradine who Adamson used in most of his films, there is little if any name talent in this one. it has by the book nudity, humor and the typical stereotypical characters, (The mean pretty boy, the heavyset nerd, the bumbling cop who is embarrassed by the kids with make fun of him with one liners, etc). Little bit better than most Adamson films as this one is not spliced together from another film with some additional footage. worth a look for Adamson fans based on the great transfer
I understand this movie is a part of the Al Adamson: The Masterpiece Collection, well I'm glad I found it on Tubi. The movie isn't anything great but it's an enjoyable low budget teen sex comedy. If you like these type of movies check it out.
In his recent book, John Carradine:The Films, author Tom Weaver declared this film to be a lost film. Try as he could, he was unable to locate the film for viewing, as he tried to do with all of Carradine's films. Maybe it is lost today; if so, it's too bad. I have seen it---it aired a couple of times on Phoenix, Arizona TV in the early 1980s (admittedly, a long time ago). As far as bubble-headed beach movies go, it wasn't really that bad, and I would go so far as to say it was one of Al Adamson's better efforts. In his book, Tom Weaver also said there is confusion as to what kind of character John Carradine (cast as "Judge Winslow") played, since 1978 data on the film clearly indicated he did not play the presiding trial judge. On the outside chance that Weaver (or any friends of his) see my remarks here on IMDb, I would like to clear the matter up. My memory of the film is that John Carradine played a retired judge who gives the kids legal advice on how to go about saving their beach. Also, typical of the degrading level of the cameos the great Carradine was reduced to in his declining years, I remember the script called for other characters to refer to him as "senile". I have always been a Carradine fan, and if this truly is a lost film, I'm glad I was able to see it, even if it was long ago.
This is one of the most obscure films of the late and not-so-great low-budget film director Al Adamson. At their best Adamson's films can be fun and moderately entertaining ("Satan's Sadists", "Nurse Sherri"), but at their worst they are unwatchable dreck that would probably violate the Geneva Convention if they were to force POWs to view them. This movie falls somewhere in between.
It's a very atypical Adamson film in that it rather than being a half-assed Western, blaxploitation flick, or incomprehensible monster mash-up, it is instead an even more low-budget version of the late 70's teen films churned out by companies like Crown Pictures and aimed squarely at the drive-in market (i.e. "The Pom Pom Girls", "The Van", "Malibu Beach"). The late 70's always seemed like a cool time to be a teenager and that really comes across in the aforementioned Crown movies or in stuff like "Jailbait Babysitter", but no so much here. Adamson is out of his element (although some might argue he had no element). He lacks even the meager budget of the average Crown picture. And instead of actors like Robert Carradine, Rainbeaux Smith, Susan Player, and Jennifer Ashley, he's saddled with complete unknowns with only a brief cameo by a decrepit John Carradine.
The plot involves s nerdy student who becomes part of the popular crowd after he pulls an end-of-the year prank on the principal. He and his new friends get involved in a campaign to save their local beach from greedy condo developers. There's the usual teen hijinks. There's a couple tricked-out vans. There's a healthy amount of "T", but a definite shortage of "A" (which certainly wouldn't have been the case if Suzie Player or Rainbeaux Smith had been in the cast).
I read a book once about Adamson. He seemed like a colorful characters and he and his group had a lot of fun making films. Watching some of them is a different story though. This would probably be marginally better with a better transfer and a legitimate release (it was a lost film for many years and the version I saw was very rough), but it's definitely not a lost classic.

A group of funloving teenagers spend their summer vacation saving their beach from builders.
Ample- bosomed teenager comedy with the works: vans, bikinis, parties, a nerd and a fatso. Pretty much includes what you'd expect from a low budget imitation of the more famous examples of the genre.
Nothing new, nothing surprising. Turkey- legend John Carradine appears in a tiny supporting role. Recommended for fans of the genre only.
Released on video in Finland in the early eighties.
