Robert Shaw was a great actor. This was the first movie I saw him in, back in 1975. I went and saw it countless times. I recall when the film was reran on TV, most of his death scene was cut out at the end.

I went and saw all the films Shaw was in after Jaws; The Deep (1977), Black Sunday (1977), Force Ten from Navarone (1978) and Avalanche Express (1979).

He suffered a heart attack when 'Express was being made in 1978. He was 51. It was released in 1979, after his death. Shaw was a heavy drinker. I was saddened. I went to see the film and he was in a good part of it, but not all of it, due to his untimely death. Lee Marvin was also in it.

Shaw did a great job as Quint. Very charismatic. At the time I saw Jaws I didn't connect him with the actor in From Russia with Love (1963) at all. It wasn't until some time later that I realized they were the same.
