I'd forgotten about the Vertigo scenes; thanks for refreshing my memory! For some reason, I remember the Jaws sequence best--mostly because the shot isn't fluidly done. It actually seems as if the camera is shaking as it's moving.

Incidentally, there's an actress in the film--she has a speaking part--who was regularly on a local news program in Portland, Maine, when the film was being shot. I think her name was/is Dixie, and she's the rather loud woman with dark hair, a good tan, and glasses. We see her in the room when Quint arrives and later on the beach.

Wasn't there a big Time magazine article on Jaws?
