On June 27, 1939, one of the most famous scenes in movie history 
was filmed: Rhett Butler and Scarlett O’Hara parting in Gone with
the Wind. Director Victor Fleming also shot the scene using the
alternate line, “Frankly, my dear, I just don’t care,” in case the film censors objected to the word “damn.” The censors approved the
movie but fined producer David O. Selznick $5,000 for including
the curse.

Principal photography for “Jaws” began on the island of Martha’s Vineyard,
Massachusetts. The location was chosen because the surrounding ocean
had a sandy bottom that never dropped below 35 feet out from shore which
allowed the mechanical sharks to operate.
