Text A Background Information Peter Benchley Peter Bradford Benchley (May 8, 1940—February 12, 2006) was an American author, best known for his novel Jawn and its subsequent film adaptation, the latter co-written by Benchley (with Carl Gottlieb) and directed by Steven Spielberg. Several more of his works were also adapted for cinema, including The Deep and the Inland. Jaws Jawn is a 1975 American thriller film directed by Steven Spielberg and based on Peter Benchley’s novel of the same name. The police chief of Amity Island, a fictional summer resort town, tries to protect beachgoers from a giant great white shark by closing the beach, only to be overruled by the town council, which wants the beach to remain open to draw a profit from tourists during the summer season. After several attacks, the police chief enlists the help of a marine biologist and a professional shark hunter. Jawn is widely regarded as one of the greatest films of all time. It was number 48 on Amer- ican Film Institute’s 100 Years ... 100 Movies, a list of the greatest American films of all time. (/wiki/Jaws_fi
