Jaws: The Death of Alex Kintner (One Perfect Scene, Steven Spielberg #8)
SpielbergPod - The Steven Spielberg PodcastShow Notes
Okay, Jaws turns 50 years old this very day - the film being released in the USA on June 20th 1975. Since this is a film very near and dear to us, we decided to mark this birthday by talking about the film once again. So, this is a One Perfect Scene episode, where Kieran, Paul and I talk about the unforgettable scene where young Alex Kintner is killed by the shark, towards the start of the film.
