Jaws Obsession Listener Email Episode: Part 2 of 2

After almost 3 years, the mystery of the Brody shoulder towel has been solved. Back in Episode 8, we set out to figure out why Chief Brody is wearing a towel on his shoulder in the Amity PD office. A listener email shines a big light on the subject.

More emails from Jaws Obsession listeners around the world ask questions: what type of shark jaws is on the Orca flying bridge? What were the guys eating during the Orca dinner scene? What about the famous dolly shot on Brody during the Alex Kintner attack?

"That's some bad hat, Harry."

It is Harry Keisel's turn in the spotlight, and we find out small details leading to a better understanding of this selectman who is left out of important meetings and seems to always be left outside of major events in Jaws. Why is Chief Brody frustrated with Harry's bad hat? What about Keisel's Bicycle Rental and the picket fences? So much more to the story waiting to be discovered.

Selectmen Series: Part 3 of 5

Five scenes under a microscope with Selectman Denherder, played by Edward Chalmers Jr. and a conspiracy is unearthed. Why is a selectman sneaking around at night, behind Brody's back, trying to hook a large shark?

Utilizing multiple drafts of the Jaws screenplay, the 50th Anniversary publication of Peter Benchley's Jaws, and notes from Carl Gottlieb's The Jaws Log, answers and clues are discovered to explain Denherder's actions behind the scenes for Mayor Vaughn.

In Memory of:

Edward Chalmers Jr. (March 15, 1922 - March 29, 1993)
