Summer
City was a movie made in 1977, filmed in Newcastle, a city on the
north coast of New South Wales. Today the film is noteworthy as it
reportedly was Mel Gibson's big-screen debut. It was also released to
some markets as Coast of Terror and is described as a "drama
thriller," which makes some of the soundtrack choices distinctly
odd. The songs here are from a 2006 soundtrack record subtitled as
"music from and inspired by" the movie.
