Jaws (1975 film)

Jaws pioneered the summer blockbuster model with suspenseful storytelling and iconic music

How did Steven Spielberg handle the challenges posed by the malfunctioning mechanical sharks during the production of Jaws?

He delayed the production until the mechanical sharks were fully functional to show the shark frequently on screen.
