"And, Robert Shaw decided that if he was going to drown in the Atlantic, he was going to be neat," Dreyfuss said. "So, he buttoned up his shirt and his sleeves, and he anchored his hat on the top of his head, and he stood at the bow with his arms crossed while 17,000 safety boats were just criss-crossing and trying to get everyone off the boat."
Dreyfuss said he tried to help a 70-year-old sound man get out first. Director Steven Spielberg yelled repeatedly to get the actors off the boat.
The director said Shaw liked to play ping-pong with Zanuck during production. One time Shaw lost and tried to fight Zanuck, but other people stopped it.
