JAWS is PG and bloodier than TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE. "May Be Too Intense For Young Children." Somebody greased the MPAA palm for that one.

Up until STAR TREK: TMP, no more major studio films like this would be G rated (teens would see that rating in the 80s as the kiss of death). With the overture, it felt like a Road Show from 1970. THE BLACK HOLE also had an overture -- but was rated PG!
