Back in the 70s i had to have seen all those party movies , for example, The Van and The Gas Pump Girls, and lifeguard was so much of a breath of fresh air along side of those others, i grew up hanging out at redondo beach and Hermosa beach California which is where this movie was filmed, in fact on ricks tower u see the letters HR i believe that stands for Hermosa/redondo and this is also 1 of the beaches that mike love and Dennis Wilson of the beach boys used to hang out at as they lived in near by Hawthorne, I have this movie on VHS not available on DVD yet, and I watch it at least once a month, as i live in new york now and this movie brings back some special memories of my fun days, i even love that song time and tide in this movie, and watching him drive to the beach in his stingray passing all those very familiar businesses, wow, well if your nostalgic then i don't have to explain the feeling. LIFEGUARD is on my list SAM elliots #1 movie.

I recorded this movie when it originally aired on abc and have watched it over and over again, this movie is robert urich at his best, i really love this movie and have to say its in my top 10 of the best telemovies ever made, now i would watch anything robert urich has been in, urich has always impressed me as an actor since id seen him as dan tanna in the TV drama VEGA$, but this movie shows the human spirit at its best, and I don't think I'm the only person who cried when they finally were rescued, unfortunately though its in my top 10 of the best it must not be in everyone else's top 10 otherwise it would be available on DVD/VHS which it is not, i do have it on VHS and although its a good copy its not in stereo as it was not recorded on a stereo vcr, i have looked for it on TV since its original airing and have not seen it, id love to see it come out on DVD. Robert Urich we will miss you.
