TA,

Aside from omitting the part where Hooper nails Brody's wife, Jaws was much better on the silver screen.

Robert Shaw was so good as the Mossad agent in Black Sunday, that it made me enjoy the book even more, the second/third/fourth time. Bruce Dern was also better on the screen than on the printed page.

BTW - the inspiration for his (Shaw) character was actually former PM Ehud Barak who was the commander of Sayaret Matkal at the time. Barak dressed up as a woman with an uzi strapped under his dress and walked through a PLO camp in Lebanon before killing his targets.
