The scene? Hooper in the water looking into Ben Gardner's boat - and that head popping in the scene. My favorite "memory" revealed in the book - that Steven Spielberg and Carl Gottlieb went to theaters after the movie started, right near their favorite scene, to watch the audience jump.

It made me a huge fan of Richard Dreyfuss, Roy Schieder and Steven Spielberg! I had read the book before seeing the movie but other than a change in who died (and I liked the changes) I didn't feel that there where that many differences. Jaws was one of those "seminal" movies for me - it was very scary without being very graphic, the suspense was heightened as the story went along and the ending was great. There are lots of insider tidbits about the making of the movie, the struggles the cast and crew had with a long location shoot at Martha's Vinyard, and just the behind the scenes stuff that goes into making a movie. Yes, I know we just had the 35th anniversary but it was while they were talking about the 35th that I heard about this book, so I requested it through ILL.
