Book Vs. Movie: Jaws
The 1974 book Vs. the 1975 movie
(From the Book Vs. Movie Vaults!)

The Margos take an oldie but a goodie out of the vaults this week!!
"Jaws" is a classic thriller that originated from Peter Benchley's novel and was later transformed into a blockbuster film directed by Steven Spielberg. The novel was published in 1974, and unfortunately, it is not very good. You will soon find out the reasons why! However, Spielberg's adaptation, which was released in 1975, focuses more on the suspense and thrill of the shark attacks, emphasizing the horror elements.

In this ep, the Margos discuss:

• The career of Peter Benchley
• The plot of this awful book.
• The differences between the book and the adaptation.
• The cast of the 1975 film: Roy Scheider (Brody,) Robert Shaw (Quint,) Richard Dreyfus (Hooper,) Lorraine Gary (Ellen,) Murray Hamilton (Vaughn) and Lee Fierro as Mrs. Kintner)

Clips used:

• Original Jaws 1975 teaser clip
• Audio from the original book.
• Original Jaws trailer
• You’re gonna need a bigger boat
• The USS Indianapolis
• Mr. Jaws by Dickie Goodman
• Music: John Williams Jaws Theme
