I am old but I remember this as a "hot" teen film

Warning: Spoilers
A conversation over dinner tonight prompted my looking up Red Sky At Morning. My husband and I were talking about the old saying Red Sky at Morning which led to the discovery we had both seeing the film in our teens long before we ever met.

One of the funniest lines in the whole film is during a make out scene in the truck and the girl saying "hey that's not a radio knob". I remember my friends laughing over that for weeks. 30 years later - my husband remembers the same line.

Neither one of us could remember much of the plot except, we remember LOVING the movie and wishing we could see it again. It must have made quite an impression.

I had forgotten Desi Arnaz, Jr was even in the film. This must have been about the time he was in Tiger Beat and dating Patty Duke. I am really old to remember that.

I can still remember a voice-over with Richard Thomas reciting "Red Sky at Morning - Sailors Take Warning. Red Sky at Night - Sailors Delight." I think it had a sunrise scene right out of Gone With The Wind. In my youthful ignorance - I thought he was quoting scripture.

Not a great movie but certainly it tried and for horndog hormonal teenagers - memorable.

Wish it was on DVD!
