About the Author

D r. Jim Vickrey is a native of Montgomery, Alabama, and an Auburn, Florida State, and Faulkner University alumnus. He is a lawyer and former university president, as well as a Professor Emeritus of Troy University, and taught courses on argumentation, communication, the law, the movies, and/or rhetoric at six Southern universities from 1965 to 2013.

A widely published author and scholar, Dr. Vickrey crafted more than 1,500 oral and/or written commentaries on communication, the First Amendment, the movies and other mass media, rhetoric, science & religion, and more, on Alabama commercial TV and public radio and TV stations and in state newspapers — based on many of the more than 3,000 feature films he reckons he’s seen in his life to date, since being turned on to Sound Era movies in the late ’40s.

An award-winning photographer, speaker, and writer, Dr. Vickrey has also been an active supporter of the American Film Institute since the early ’70s, and an active member of the Faulkner [University] Law, the Montgomery County, and the Alabama State Bars.
