On a side note, the telling of the sinking of the USS Indianapolis has got to be one of the greatest speeches/scenes in any movie.



Wasn't that basically improvised, or was Shaw just three sheets to the wind when he did it?

No, it wasn't improvised. It was actually a speech given to him by a vet. They tried to film it drunk, but Shaw couldn't get the lines out. So the next morning they went in to shoot and he nailed it on first take. At least thats what i saw on the behind the scenes making of Jaws.
