Today’s issue of Dust On The VCR is another subscriber request! This film was chosen by James Gilbreath, an important figure from a very specific time in my life. Before I found a full-time job after graduate school, I taught adjunct English classes at a for-profit college called Brown Mackie that eventually disappeared due to low demand (and fraud, apparently). Anyway, James was the chief librarian at our Brown Mackie campus, and he was the only human being in that building that I felt any sort of kinship with, which is why I’m very glad we’ve kept in touch as he’s gone on to bigger and better places (he works for UAB’s library system now!

When John McDonough described his summer job with the Kenilworth Police Department, he mentioned a family. During the summer of 1965, the Thoresens, a family of four, seemed to be tying up the department almost daily. They were rich—not unusual for Kenilworth.
