Forty Years Later: THE BLUE LAGOON

On the nineteenth and twentieth of June in the year of our Lord 1980 the coastal elites got their chance to see young adults (really young) discover sex for the first time in THE BLUE LAGOON. This uncomfortable bit of marketing a fourteen year old Brooke Shields in a state of undress would soon make its way to the flyover states... and be just as financially successful.
