The Jaws Log
The riveting, sharp-toothed inside story of the most terrifying movie ever made
By Carl Gottlieb

A classic behind-the-scenes account of the making of Jaws, written by the film’s co-screenwriter. First published in the mid-1970s, The Jaws Log documents the famously chaotic, over-budget and problem-ridden production that ultimately changed cinema history.

Written from inside the production, it captures the tensions between cast, crew, producers, the ocean, and the mechanical shark that refused to cooperate.

With over fifty candid photographs from the movie, this is an essential companion for fans of blockbuster cinema and 1970s Hollywood.
