Letter: ‘Rules for thee’

A View of the Valley, Aug. 7, 2025

To celebrate this summer’s 50th anniversary of the movie “Jaws” I’m reading the book. The movie premiered 50 years ago this summer and was, from what I’ve been reading, the first summer blockbuster. It was the highest grossing film in history… until “Star Wars” came along two years later.
