An inheritance does not necessarily mean the end of all worries. Definitely not for two elderly friends, both in their early 60s, who inherited the “LITTLE DUKE” after the death of their adoptive father. The Irish pub in the idyllic lower town of the rich metropolis of Luxembourg has long since passed its heyday, is now heavily in debt and in need of renovation, but fits perfectly into the loot scheme of the building speculators who want to redevelop the entire district. What to do? Do you want to start again when you retire, revitalize the pub or give in to pressure from speculators? The difficult but wise journey of two old men, one a realist and one an incorrigible optimist, through the world of the rich and powerful.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
