At the beginning of this film, Chrissie Watkins is killed during a party, but Mayor Larry Vaughan overrules attempts to prevent further loss of life. Another character in this film destroys the radio to prevent contact with the Coast Guard, and that same character later relates his story from his time aboard the USS Indianapolis while on the (*) Orca.  Brody later fails to save that character, Captain Quint, and this film is best known for its theme, composed by John Williams, which consists of a simple alternating two-note pattern.  For ten points, name this Steven Spielberg classic about a great white shark terrorizing a New Jersey town.
