Jaws 50: In The Teeth of JAWS (BBC Making-of Documentary, 1997)

Welcome back! I couldn't let the blog be idle during the 50th anniversary of my all-time favorite movie. Jaws celebrates its 50th anniversary this Friday, June 20th, and to celebrate, I'll be sharing some interesting documentaries of this landmark flick!

First up, In The Teeth of Jaws is a BBC-produced doc from 1997 featuring interviews with producers David Brown and Richard Zanuck, costars Richard Dreyfus and Lorraine Gary, and cowriter Carl Gottlieb, among others. Admittedly, Jaws documentaries abound, but each one still frames the facts of the making of the movie in an interesting light.

Special thanks go to The Daily Jaws, a FINTASTIC Jaws fan site that everyone should visit, for sharing the doc on their YouTube channel. I drink to their legs!

Enjoy! Please see the embedded video below or directly on YouTube here.

Wonder Woman Episode 212, "The Deadly Toys"

 

Welcome on and all to the (tardy) start of the 2024 Countdown to Christmas! Sorry I'm late, but I'm ready to share great Christmas offerings with you this year. And to kick it off, I have a fun one--a Christmas episode of the 1970s Wonder Woman TV series starring Lynda Carter!

In "The Deadly Toys," a former military major is in cahoots with a deranged toymaker (Frank Gorshin having a blast) to substitute top scientists on a secret government project with android replicas, thereby allowing the major and toymaker to have control over the project. In comes Diana to the rescue, but not before she fights an android replica of herself!

Yep--big, dumb fun!

Enjoy! And yes, I know I included the Season 1 theme song before a Season 2 episode, but I like that version of the theme better, so there! :)
