Yeah, I almost wonder if the sun was supposed to be taken as the moon - it's kind of a mess, but no one ever notices it on first viewing.

When you are done, be sure to check out the theatrical trailer. The underwater shot climbing up toward Chrissie's kicking legs isn't nearly as darkened down, and as a result, it's a real peepshow for a PG approved trailer.

Nice hook. One of the best.

Favorite minor character - Polly the squeaky-raspy voiced receptionist.

Alas - I have to return to work, so I can't join you all the way through - but I look forward to your commentary when I return.

They're in the yahd not to fah from the cah.

Love the ashtray on the night stand and Brody's boxers.

Nice kitchen chandelier. Yikes.

Interesting that their kid has the major accent.

Kid's bleeding and going swimming. Not good.

First time we see the sign. Not a lot of unnecessary stuff in the first ten minutes. We meet the main character, we like him, we like his wife...

We meet dinglecheese sidekick... see what became of Chrissie. There's a terrific three shot before we see the crabfest shot. In Pan and Scan it's total garbage.

Wow, I never knew that, and I've never watched it in mono. Got to do that soon.

I did NOT see Jaws in the theaters. In the summer of 1975, I swam in the ocean every single day, and watched as friend after friend refused to go back in the water after seeing that movie. So I skipped it, cause I LOVED swimming in the ocean when, sigh, I lived half a block from the beach and my girlfriend lived in the last house before the sand began.


Le freakin' sigh.

Yes, LOVE Polly. I love the bit characters in this movie. Pulled right from the town (I think, not sure). I love it when directors cast non-actors in movies. It helps sell the setting, appeals to normal Joe audience members like me...
