Not An Easy Catch

(Flash Review)
Rewatching after a few decades. I didn't recall anything past the famous beach scenes so good to get a refresher. Jaws takes place in a small resort beach town that depends on revenue from vacationers. When a shark victim surfaces (pun intended) there is a battle between the mayor and the local sheriff on whether to ban swimming (lose revenue) or keep the water open (risk deaths). We all know where this is headed. Anyway, the beach scenes have the famous Jaws music theme and a bit of blood, while the second half is three guys trying to catch and kill the gargantuan shark, which I completely forgot about. It is well shot, had great tension, some good character development and some good 70's era shark battling scenes.
