29 degrees in the shade is a one-act comedy by Eugène Labiche, premiered in Paris at the Palais-Royal theater on April 9, 1873. One summer Sunday, Pomadour receives two of his friends as well as Adolphe, a stranger invited unexpectedly. Pomadour having surprised Adolphe giving kisses to his wife, gets angry and wonders about the follow-up to be given to this affront. His friends having assured him that in the event of a duel, the adversary makes a point of not defending himself, Pomadour demands a duel with the sword. But understanding that Adolphe is a skilled swordsman and that he is determined to defend himself, Pomadour tries to get out of this bad situation. His wife then comes to his rescue, in her own way.
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.
