Jaws
The true Amityville Horror
Jaws Series Episode 1
In 1975, Steven Spielberg was still an up-and-coming director, known for television work and the critically acclaimed thriller Duel. But when he adapted Peter Benchley’s novel Jaws into a feature film, the notoriously troubled production became the stuff of Hollywood legend. The result cemented Spielberg as an A-list filmmaker, helped invent the modern summer blockbuster, and made beach vacations a lot more nerve-racking. Now, more than 35 years later, with the film firmly embedded in pop culture, does Jaws still have bite?
