I saw this as a young teen when it first came out, so that may have affected my feelings for the film. Even now, I can always watch it when I find it's on.
You won't find too many bad movies with this many A-List actors (Huston, Fonda,Winters, heck, I'll throw in Bo Hopkins as well), so it's sort of worth watching just for that reason alone, even though they seemed to be going through the motions for the most part, though Shelley Winters was her usual late-career frantic self.
Anyway, it's the sort of blatant "Jaws" rip-off (or homage, if you like) that everyone was trying to cash in on back then, but it does have its suspenseful moments, and manages to be watchable as long as you don't look too closely at it.
