Shrimp salad about a search for sunken treasure.Beautiful, gorgeous, sexy, hot - and wet - Brooke Shields quits her job as a waitress/good luck charm to hook up with perennial drunk Burgess Meredith so they can dive for gold bullion. Brooke's idiot boyfriend Tom Byrd will go, too. He'll bring his chest hair along. Diver Brian Kerwin packs his rags-for-clothes so he can join the fiasco-in-the-making. Not much acting quality in this beached tale of greed and deceit, just one of thousands of 'TV-movies' Hollywood cranked out in the 80's, though this one features foxy Brooke in a bikini.A film for me to watch when I want to feed my 30+ year love affair with Brooke.

Brooke Shields is beautiful in this treasure hunting adventure.To attain the 'good life' with her dweeb boyfriend, Brooke employs the services of a local scuba diving dude to help her salvage a booty of gold bars sunk on an excursion ship long ago. Along for the ride is the town drunk Burgess Meredith who enlightens everyone with his old war stories, though no one is listening.Brooke is hot in her variety of small tops, little shorts, and bathing suits, and must fend off the advances of the two young guys and the haunting potentiality of 'gold fever'..... that is, greed.Highlights of the movie are Brooke in bikinis, a rank Coast Guard lieutenant, and Burgess holding his ham sandwich like a 2-year old - I just wanted to shove it in his face.Brooke is gorgeous.

This limp,damp remake of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre could be left to its undead existence on weekday afternoon television schedules but for two factors.First(and least important)Burgess Meredith shows what an underused and underrated actor he was, even in the hackneyed role he has here(alcoholic old seadog who ultimately has better survival instincts than the younger beautiful landlubbers).Secondly The gorgeousness that is Ms.BROOKE SHIELDS! one of the most beautiful women ever to walk the planet and don't the filmmakers know it.She is in virtually every scene in ravishing closeup most of the time and her basic attire consists of daisyduke shorts,figure-hugging scuba diving gear and and a wonderful variety of tight-fitting swimwear. The hilarious thing is that she is supposed to be an impoverished waitress,but she has more beachwear than a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model. This film could,therefore, be a major historical document as it will show future generations why she was such a major figure in 70's/80's popular culture though only if you play it with the sound turned down.

This film is a bad acting fest especially Brooke Sheilds,her handsome dark haired boyfriend and the old coastguard who appears briefly at the end of the film. He was so lousy I can only assume he was the director's dad!!. But it was entertaining in it's own sweet way.Worth a look.
