Arena (1975)

Cinema: Peter Yates (1977x47)

Air date: Dec 14, 1977

'The Deep' opens in London this week. Written by the man who wrote 'Jaws', Peter Benchley, it's been the biggest grosser in the USA this year—after Star Wars, of course. Although it features an underwater Jacqueline Bisset menaced by a moray eel, it has nothing to do with 'Jaws', swears its British director Peter Yates.
