His voice hasn’t aged. Sounds exactly the same as he did as a young man.
@d2d2d28 Same thing with Gene Wilder when he was alive.
Kind of crazy and refreshing (for me in the UK anyway) seeing a proper interview in front of a live audience where the host’s asking serious and even technical questions and not looking to get a laugh in some way, just asking interesting questions
No glasses, no beard, I wouldn't have guessed in a million years who this was!
If you watch the first Back To The Future behind the scenes Featurette, Steven has a much different look with long hair and sunglasses (yet no beard :D)
If he hadn't of spoke I'd of had no clue!
He looks like David Duchovny!
@@relativenormalityThat's what I was thinking...
I wonder before his wonderful passion and ingenuity for Film, of course... But my admiration for him blew off the charts after realizing that he was 27 when he directed Jaws... A kid of 27 held that chaotic and nightmarish producción, filled with seasoned pros losing their mind all around him... And didn't just held It together, he delivered JAWS to the world.
Steven Spielberg is one of a kind.
Spielberg's Duel(1971) is really good. A $400, 000 TV movie that feels like a $4 million dollar blockbuster.
I really like Dick Cavett because he's so kind and intelligent.
Here the young Spielberg kinda resembles David from the X Files 😅😅😅
You might want to check your spelling there, bud.
I thought the same thing.
I'd rather wish that Gillian Anderson was there instead.
its Ducovenñey
He looks a little bit like John Ritter here too
Please, please post Mr. Cavett’s entire conversation with Mr. Spielberg here!
Fascinating to see a young Spielberg here with my favorite interviewer.
He was a bit better than Fallon, wasn't he?
Crazy how old people were young once.
Lol
Totally insane 😅
"I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, AND IT'LL HAPPEN TO YOU, TOO!" - Abe Simpson
Even crazier is you will be too one day and you'll see
Jaws is a masterpiece
One year later - ET was released and Steven was in another stratosphere.
Omg, i haven't seen him without beard before. I almost didn't recognize him. 😄
155 days is nuts. The making of Jaws would be a movie in itself. Very interesting stuff there.
I think there is a making of Jaws
@@johnurban7333 Yes, I have seen plenty. And read 2 books about it too.
@@johnurban7333"The Shark is Now Working" I think it's called
Yes, there is a documentary that’s really good; the creatively titled, “The Makinv of Jaws” from ‘95.
@@Stehako Yes, the one on Laser Disc. I had that.
Talking about handheld "on land" - now no movie is locked down anymore. Everything is moving constantly. It started around NYPD Blue - and now we just take it for granted.
Fascinating!
You'd have thought Spielberg and David Duchovny were identical twins separated at birth upon seeing this, without the beard and the glasses. The resemblance to Duchovny is uncanny!
Robert Shaw's monologue really turned that movie from a potboiler into something sturdy. Too bad he lost most of his salary.
According to Spielberg the monologue was primarily written by John Milius and then partially rewritten by Shaw.
It seems that no matter what year Spielberg is in, I recognize him. No matter what
For a second, I thought the thumbnail looked like Dana Garvey doing an impression of Columbo!
His first blockbuster! And he was almost fired!
I had no idea than a young Steven Spielberg looked so much like John Ritter.
Jesus young Spielberg was good.
Stephen looks great here ...his jacket is same color, material, as my Hurley baseball cap 😅
Yes indeed!
Young Spielberg had such a ridiculous amount of confidence. I guess that's part of his overall success.
Spielberg is the greatest director of all time in multiple genres
Steven Spielberg hasn't changed much. Just gotten older. He still is the best. One of the greatest movie directors ever. Who ever said? It was easy to make a movie. Jaws had one problem. That was a life saver in the end. The shark wouldn't work. Half the time. Steven Spielberg will make the best movie of all time. It's just a feeling.
Did Steven Spielberg used to be David Duchovny?
OMG, WHERE ARE HIS GLASSES AND BEARD!?
Dick Cavett's show should have lasted a lot longer. He is still alive in 2024, at the age of 87.
A genius. Will his like ever be seen again. I doubt it.
Little changed since then. Jim Cameron said the lifeboat scenes in the open water were the hardest scenes technically to shoot because they weren't in the studio space.
1981 wow❤😂
I thought it was John Ritter at first 😅
Steven...
The sharks are mad at us!!!
😮 JAWS IS A REAL STORY 😮
Dick was very prescient here. It's all shaky cam nowadays
Good grief -- how times have changed, or how far have we fallen?
July 1981. I'm assuming he's here to promte Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Spielberg started out directing TV shows for experience before transitioning to movies. Now compare that to James Cameron who’s first movie was Terminator, second was Aliens. No prior directing experience. I mean it boggles the mind.
The reason why so trying is it was a movie that never should have been released! Literally ruined swimming for millions and millions for years. I know there is a special place in 🔥 for making this ego driven movie though so many outer Spielberg movies were godsends of goodness
stop widen videos for widescreen. its 4:3 and it looks stupid with wrong proportions now
Ireland famously in the UK
Jamie Oliver directed Jaws?
Robert Shaw lost most of his jaws money 😢
It's Bill Maher.
He started out directing Columbo episodes
He started out directing Rod Serling's Night Gallery actually.
@@NovaFeedback1979 you are correct. He directed Night Gallery the year before Columbo. I forgot all about that.
The episode which he directed, starring Dennis Weaver. When he was about to make duel. He thought the performance from night gallery, mannerisms and so on, would be perfect for duel. So they got him. Inspired choice.
I think he directed just one Columbo episode. And he directed other tv show episodes. Now compare that to Cameron who’s first movie was Terminator and second Aliens. All without starting slowly on TV. Boggles the mind.
Spielberg without a beard is weird
Salt water is why the shark never worked.
Spielberg currently has $4.8 BILLION in his bank account.
I'll go out on a limb and say this "movie thing" appears to be working for him. 😏
Yet he’s doing these weird commercials for the upcoming Olympics. Stay behind the camera, Steve!
Really? I'm going to look for those. It's been a while since I scratched my head in confused disbelief. @@leamanc
Best wishes from Vermont 🍁
This Spielberg guy kinda got lucky with 'Jaws'. Doesn't seem like anything special. I can't see him doing much with his career, going forward. 🤷🏻
Never heard of the guy...
Put his money in Ireland, he didn't pay British taxes 🤔.
Poor Robert Shaw. I hope he was somehow secretly recompensed for the money that the taxman took from him due to Spielberg's poor planning.
Also, Spielberg was a jerk for publicly recounting stories of his crew supposedly going crazy, and naming their job titles so that they could be identified.
David Duchovny isnt as good looking as I thought he was.
he is turn the cinema to the roller coaster he is main reason cinema dying now
Nah, he has nothing to do with MCU.
You is turn me migraine. You learn English from potato?
true, he invented the Blockbuster movie, and the rest is history
@@lobsterwhisperer7932 Ignoring all the blockbusters before JAWS, of course.
@@lobsterwhisperer7932 Jaws can be credited with turning Hollywood on to the summer season. Before, summer was considered a bad time, cuz it was thought that people would rather be outside than in a movie theatre.
