About Shout for Joy
Rick Irons moves to Hawaii to live in paradise; surf the gigantic waves. At a party, Rick meets Alma who quickly becomes a love interest. While dating Alma, he begins to train for the United States surfing title. As Rick's life is racing to the top on the outside, he personally feels like the bottom is falling out on the inside.
Directed by Erik Jacobson, Shout for Joy leans on a strong ensemble — Robert Pierce, Maureen McCormick, Michael Cummings — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1983.
