Steven Spielberg reflects on Jaws at 50: ‘I thought my career was over’

Director, marking new exhibition in LA, tells of chaotic filming - and says he's never seen so much vomit in my life'

Before Jaws became a cinematic classic, and the very first American summer blockbuster", director Steven Spielberg thought the 1975 film would be the last one he would be allowed to make.

Spielberg, who was just 26, had decided to shoot his second film, a thriller about a killer shark, on location on the east coast island of Martha's Vineyard.
