The film he made in 1975 is not only now a classic, but also a Steven Spielberg film that has changed the film business until now, causing many Hollywood studios to now put their flagship releases in the summer period. The film about the terror of sharks on the tourist beach of a small town is so special, not because of the spectacular action factor or even the perpetrator of the terror, but the casting of the drama story between the characters that is the focus of the film.
