Movie Haiku:Spielberg was very young & new to his craft when he directed this blockbuster which permanently changed the defintion of a "summer movie." "Bruce" (his nickname for the horrific aparition terrifying his New England beaches), is part mechanical, part natural, & part literary (Moby Dick). Robert Shaw triumphs as Quint/Ahab.
