I remember reading that Robert Shaw was drunk (he often was) the night they were to shoot that scene. He couldn’t get it right so Spielberg gave up and they all went back to their hotels for the night. The next morning they sat down to shoot that scene again and Shaw nailed it in one take.
One my top five movie scenes of all time. I was a movie theater usher in 1975 - I probably saw that movie over 100 times - had it memorized ...
