[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 426298, member: 23"] I was taken aback by his forceful comefback in that video linked above. In earlier [I]Jaws[/I] documentaries, while his reflections on the problems with Robert Shaw have generally been tempered with an evident fondness (far more so than other contributors), he has said that Shaw bullied and constantly challenged him him on-set. I've always just assumed he supported what others were saying, but perhaps it's in the way these things are edited. It must have been a little confusing for him on the set, where he admired and almost worshipped this very unpredictable figure who made him the object of his ridicule. I do recall watching a video of him appearing on Irish TV having met Robert Shaw's granddaughter moments before and he became quite emotional. To me, that moment somehow felt like a turning point for him in how he framed it.

The story behind [I]Jaws[/I] has been so well-documented right from the beginning (starting with[I] The Jaws Log [/I]book, which memorialised everything "live" from the set) that it feels it's all been said. I'm really not expecting much more than a fond look back and that's OK with me. That certainly would have been interesting to see. [/QUOTE]
