Jaws (1975 Steven Spielberg)

There's a 007 on the licence plate that Dreyfuss pulls out of Shark #1 - Q tells me this is a reference to Spielberg's desire to make a Bond film, but Broccoli turned him down... twice.

I was surprised when I saw it first how gory it was for an 'A' certificate - how did they get away with it? Maybe the censor thought the fake shark was funny.

Carl Gottlieb, who was one of the writers
