Ma Barker and sons Mad Max, Machinegun Nonong and Pretty Boy Fredo want to be the number one criminal family in the land. They think this is going to be their ticket to fame and fortune. But plans go awry when Pretty Boy falls in love with Sheila, a pretty young lounge singer/owner. It turns out that she is the grandaughter of Don Vito , the family's main competitor. Don Vito learns of the relationship and decides to hit two birds with one stone. He sets up Ma Barker and her sons as the fall guys of their criminal operations hoping Pretty Boy will voluntarily leave his precious grandchild alone. But Pretty Boy learns of the plot against his family. His only hope is to convince Shiela of her grandfather's evil ways and help her get him arrested.

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.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
