The 'definitive' story? Once again we get only about 60 seconds of the film's editor, Verna Fields. Plus, there's some quite interesting stuff missing. Despite the people of Martha's Vineyard being treated in a glowing light, the locals would also drive their boats into shot deliberately and demand payment to go away - a nice detail from Carl Gottlieb's 'The Jaws Log'.
Some nice contributors in the shape of Cameron Crowe, Emily Blunt, Guillermo del Toro, Steven Soderberg etc. Luckily they had (limited) interviews with the stars from contemporary filming and later interviews. Some fascinating footage of the mechanized shark in action.
We felt for Steven with his years of PTSD resulting from the never-ending shoot.
