Graced by landmark scores from John Barry, Jerry Goldsmith, Henry Mancini and John Williams, director Jeannot Szwarc took on the hardest sequels and concepts of popular cinema of all time and made them truly fly.

Rest in peace, Jeannot Szwarc

Only just discovered that #JeannotSzwarc has passed away. #Jaws2 might not be anyone’s idea of a masterpiece, though it’s given me great pleasure over the years. Somewhere in Time however is a genuinely great film. I interviewed him about it for
Cinema Retro and he was a delight.

Very sad to learn of the passing of David Lynch, the king of outsider cinema. But I'm slightly sadder about the passing of Jeannot Szwarc. His films - Jaws 2, Supergirl and Santa Claus - were vital to my childhood. #jeannotszwarc #supergirl #santaclausthemovie #jaws2
