Jaws : The Man was 27 when he directed this

Happy 70th birthday to Steven Spielberg. To think he initially turned down the offer from Zanuck and Brown

27. Mind-boggling.

Happy Birthday!

Orson Welles was 25 when he made Citizen Kane.

Indeed, re Welles, truly remarkable. Shame though, as CK was perhaps as good as it got. I think the original Magnificent Ambersons has been lost, so there only remains the version with happy, Hollywoodised endingtragic.

Spielberg is a living, breathing legend. Hats off to him :)

well at 27 having already made a few films he was certainly a late bloomer, as good as Jaws was it's not exceptional.. not for a directors perspective anyway.

You'll have to explain what you mean by "as good as Jaws was it's not exceptionalnot for a director's perspective anyway."

Even if you meant "from" a director's perspective, please elaborate just so I know where you're coming from.

totally wrong
