Though respected as an actor,
Robert Shaw
s trouble with alcohol was a frequent source of tension during filming. In later interviews,
Roy Scheider
described his co-star as "a perfect gentleman whenever he was sober. All he needed was one drink and then he turned into a competitive son-of-a-bitch." According to
Carl Gottlieb
s book "The Jaws Log," Shaw was having a drink between takes, at which point he announced "I wish I could quit drinking." Much to the surprise and horror of the crew,
Richard Dreyfuss
simply grabbed Shaws glass and tossed it into the ocean. When it came time to shoot the infamous USS Indianapolis Scene, Shaw attempted to do the monologue while intoxicated as it called for the men to be drinking late at night. Nothing in the take could be used. A remorseful Shaw called

late that night and asked if he could have another try. The next day of shooting, Shaws electrifying performance was done in one take.

10.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Sleeping Beauty (1959)?
a.
(At 47:57) The directors commentary mentions that the sound of a train in the background is because they had to use the production soundtrack from when the film was shot and the train was actually there. Usually, after a movie is shot, the actors re-voice scenes so that background noise can be cleared up, but when the boys were brought back for re-voicing, their voices had all changed, making their re-voicing impractical.
b.
An homage to
Federico Fellini
s film _8 1/2 (1963)_. Aspects of the homage are the black and white cinematography, the opening scene of Woody on a train, the seaside locations, the emphasis on a director hounded by critics and fans, and relationships with multiple women. Also, although in quite a different context, a spaceship features in both films.
c.
Shot on a 35mm Technirama double-frame negative (which is as big as two regular Academy frames joined together) running horizontally through the animation camera, with each frame photographed three times (once with a red filter, once with a blue filter, and once with a green filter). This negative was then printed on both CinemaScope-compatible anamorphic film and Super Technirama 70mm film, the first film released in Super Technirama 70.
