"JAWS was a film born of the unknown about sharks"

The cast and crew gathered on the island of Martha's Vineyard in the dead of winter and the central figure of the film was a man-eating great white shark. The creative chemistry came from the explosive temperaments of the humans involved: those who owned the story and controlled the purse strings, the actors and actresses for whom the make-believe jaws seemed all too real, the brilliant director who refused to compromise with the story-line of the book and the writer who watched as fiction turned into film.

Includes 50 candid photos from the movie
