I had to stand in line to see “Jaws” and “Star Wars” when they came out. “The Godfather” was held over for 38 weeks at a theater in South Jersey,near me when it came out. M.A.S.H. also did well when released.
I remember Jaws. It made MCA’s stock jump, it made so much money.
I got a Jaws skateboard for Christmas later that year.
Jaws was quite the social phenomenon.
This reminds me of things I forgot. I actually went and read Benchley’s book after Jaws came out. And also The Deep because of it.
