Mike Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Arguably the most well known fictional reference to the events occurs in the 1975 thriller film Jaws in a monologue by actor Robert Shaw, whose character Samuel Quint is depicted as a survivor of the Indianapolis sinking. The monologue particularly focuses on the numerous deaths caused by shark attacks after the sinking. John Milius was specifically brought into the production to write lines for this scene and he based them on survivor stories. However, the speech states the date of the sinking as 29 June 1945, when the ship was actually sunk on 30 July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
