SHARKS, INDIANA JONES AND MISSION IMPOSSIBLE

  I've watched a lot of films this past month.  Went through two franchises: Jaws . Began with  Jaws  in 1975, based on the novel by Peter Benchley, directed by Steven Spielberg and featuring that  theme song of John Williams , just an alternating pattern of E and F notes, which won an Oscar, and now is the standard sound of sharks.

Sheryl Lee Ralph will do  L
