Jaws 2 1978 PG, 117 min. Genre: Horror / Thriller
Director: Jeannot Szwarc Cast: Roy Scheider, Lorraine Gary, Murray Hamilton, Joseph Mascolo, Jeffrey Kramer, Collin Wilcox Paxton, Ann Dusenberry, Barry Coe, Keith Gordon
Roy Scheider once again is the vigilant protector of the public from the great white shark in this sequel that doesn't quite match up to Spielberg's original. There is some pretty good excitement, however.

Director: David Lowell Rich Cast: Meredith Baxter, Susan Dey, Ann Dusenberry, Greer Garson, Dorothy McGuire, Eve Plumb, William Shatner, Robert Young, Cliff Potts, John de Lancie, Richard Gilliland, William Schallert, Virginia Gregg, Joyce Bulifant, Carlene Watkins
This is a good TV adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's famous novel about the four March sisters–Meg (Meredith Baxter), Jo (Susan Dey), Amy (Ann Dusenberry), and Beth (Eve Plumb)–growing up in the Civil War era. Dorothy McGuire and Greer Garson are particularly good in their roles as Marmee and Aunt Katherine March.
