Country: US
Technical: Technicolor/Panavision 117m
Director: Steven Spielberg
Cast: Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss
Synopsis:
A Great White shark threatens an East Coast resort.
Review:
This hybrid of Moby Dick and the horror/disaster genres established its director, as well as being the first of the 'event' films which were to signal a new age of big profits and big budgets in American cinema. It rises above its exploitation beginnings thanks to intelligent direction and ensemble acting, and repeated viewings reveal new layers of construction.
