  • Estate Lecture Series at Nassau County Museum of Art 1 Museum Drive Roslyn, NY, 11576 United States (map)

This is it! Celebrate the fifty year anniversary of the film that coined the expression “The Summer Blockbuster” and made Director Steven Spielberg a legend. Learn of the trials and tribulations of actually filming a sea based film at sea instead of a studio tank. Also discover why the great and thrilling filming was not quite planned the way the finished product appears on the screen. With real and gritty characters, white knuckle suspense, a real life monster, blood, gore and theme music that still haunts you after all these years, this is a film that looks like it was made yesterday. Experience the frightening film with selected highlights again after the original Long Island Power Point lecture. You will have a thrilling and exciting morning with this breakthrough presentation. And, please, don’t blame me if you think twice before swimming at the beach this summer! You have been warned! Original soundtrack music and a book and memorabilia display, including the original movie one sheet poster and rare lobby cards, is included. You can register by simply using the website (www.thefrickestatelectures.org) or calling the lecture office at 516-415-1101 and leaving a message – they will get right back to you and register you by credit card.  Checks are also accepted but may be delayed at their P.O. Box in Greenvale, so if you do use the postal mail, either email admin@thefrickestatelectures.org or call their phone number to let them know you would like to attend.
