On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Jaws, we're joined by Marty Milner to discuss his work on Steven Spielberg's legendary thriller. Marty takes us behind the scenes of one of cinema's most influential films, sharing insights into the production challenges, the infamous mechanical shark "Bruce," and the innovative filmmaking techniques that helped create a summer blockbuster phenomenon. We explore how the film's troubled production on Martha's Vineyard ultimately led to some of its greatest strengths, the collaborative process with Spielberg during his early career, and the lasting impact Jaws had on both the film industry and popular culture. We also touch on the film's legacy, its spawning of the summer blockbuster era, and what it was like being part of a movie that would become one of the most quoted and referenced films in cinema history.
