Jaws (1974), his first novel, which spent more than 40 weeks on

Spielberg in 1975. Benchley wrote three drafts of the screenplay for the
film and appeared as a reporter on the beach in the Fourth of July scene. The
Oscar-winning (Best Sound, Best Film Editing and Best Original Score for
composer John Williams) Jaws was the most profitable Hollywood movie to
that time. His subsequent novel, The Deep (1978) was released as a
feature film in 1979. Benchley co-wrote the screenplay and appeared as a
"Mate".His later novels include The Beast, which was made into a
TV movie in 1996 (Benchley was the Executive Producer), and Creature,
which was also adapted for TV in 1998. Fine condition.
