From Time Magazine's new issue, behind the scene photos from "Jaws" and Matt Taylor
P.S. My favorite movie-all time.
The Beach
Hundreds of extras gathered day after day on Joseph Sylvia State Beach in Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard to shoot the July 4 beach scene. There, the filmmakers replicated a group of striped beach cabanas originally located on East Beach in Chappaquiddick, another Massachusetts island. The weather was unreliable in mid-June, cool and dark on some days. "Equally problematic were the scores of adult extras who began losing interest in lingering day after day on the frigid beach," writes Taylor. Though they were paid $2.50 an hour, there wasn't much incentive for some to stay on the cool beach for multiple days. When extras who were in one spot for one scene disappeared for the next, it caused major problems for the film's continuity.
