Any kid who went swimming in the late 1970s knows the theme. What Psycho did for showers, Jaws did for swimming. This was largely due to Steven Spielberg's masterful use of suspense. He knew just when the shark should attack, and when to simply tease. Sure, when you really look at it you can see how fake the shark looks, but audiences didn't care. Jaws was a huge hit.
