This year marks the 50th anniversary of “Jaws” — a movie that revolutionized summer blockbusters, ushered in a new era of film and helped to put one of New England’s gems, Martha’s Vineyard, into the national spotlight.
The movie was almost entirely filmed on Martha’s Vineyard in 1974. In “Jaws”, the setting is known as Amity Island, but the similarities to the Vineyard are clear and many landmarks in the film are instantly recognizable to this day.
The movie has retained a massive following five decades later, and has become a piece of island lore in the meantime. It seems like every native Vineyarder has a “Jaws” story to share — whether that’s a relative who was involved in the movie, a memory of Hollywood crews descending onto the island, or something else.
Needless to say, it’s a big summer for Martha’s Vineyard, with plenty in store to mark the special anniversary of the legendary movie.
