The Shark is Broken

T01991134438
'You're gonna need a bigger boat.' Jaws, Martha's Vineyard 1974: three iconic actors, Robert Shaw, Roy Scheider and Richard Dreyfuss, are tortuously confined together on the Orca while filming, enduring endless delays, studio politics, foul weather and a constantly broken mechanical shark called Bruce. Conversation deteriorates into actor insecurities, competing egos, petty rivalry and excess alcohol consumption.
Author Joseph Nixon
Author Ian Shaw
