HOLLYWOOD SUMMER NIGHTS
The summer blockbuster that started them all and terrified a generation of beachgoers is back on the big screen. Police Chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider), marine biologist Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) and salty captain-for-hire Quint (Robert Shaw) hunt down the Moby Dick of great white sharks off the coast of the fictional Amity Island. Filmed on location on Martha’s Vineyard.
“Spielberg has paced the film beautifully so that one is always on edge, tensed for those scary moments that turn out to be false alarms, and left somehow totally unprepared for the real shocks.” — Kathleen Carroll, The New York Daily News
“…the most perfectly constructed horror story in our time.” — Arthur Knight, The Hollywood Reporter
