Jaws
Celia Imrie dives into the BBC’s archives to tell the behind-the-scenes story of Steven Spielberg’s classic aquatic horror, Jaws.\n\nIt had arrived in cinemas with the warning slogan 'Don’t go in the water', but the team from the BBC’s Film 74 had already got in early, capturing the first days of shooting and filming revealing interviews with the young director, his cast and crew. \n\nThese gems are combined with later archive moments that explore the entire Jaws phenomenon and its many sequels to produce a Talking Pictures that comes with extra bite.
