Spielberg got rid of some unnecessary plot items, and it made for a great film.


Although I haven't read the book, I read somewhere that in the novel Brody's wife has an affair with Hooper. It this true? If so, then yeah, frick the book.

I'll save you the time on the novel.

The mayor and his cronies are indebted to the mob.

Brody and Ellen are bored with their marriage. Brody feels like a heel just for looking at bikini clad vacationers. Ellen gets with Hooper because younger brother of an old flame.

Hooper is a pompous arse.

Quint is more of poacher. The boat returns to port after each hunt.

Shark eats Hooper, quint, and dies from being harpooned and bleeding to death before almost eating Brody. It gets suspended about 25ft deep in the water by the barrel.


White Shark got the title change to Creature around the time it was made for TV.
