While the 50th anniversary of Steven Spielberg‘s Jaws has captured the media’s attention this month, it wasn’t the first to dive into those dangerous waters. In the lull between National Geographic’s just-concluded Sharkfest and Discovery’s Shark Week (beginning Sunday), TCM stirs things up with a series of vintage shark-related movies, starting with Howard Hawks‘ 1932 romantic melodrama Tiger Shark, starring Edward G. Robinson as a tuna fisherman caught in a love triangle, followed by John Sturges‘ 1955 Underwater! adventure (9:30/8:30c), the 1950 B-movie Killer Shark (11:15/10:15c) starring Roddy McDowall, and the 1953 documentary The Sea Around Us (12:45 am/11:45c) based on marine biologist Rachel Carson’s National Book Award-winning work.
