Two feuding families are affecting the quality of life in a small town. The Church wants to intervene, but the local Priest is sorta helpless, so he brings in a younger, more aggressive, gitterdone Priest to attack the problem.

Theres a new Father in town, Father Mauricio ( Demetrio Gonzalez ) and he has ideas too modern for the inhabitants, who are divided and don't get along well. The main plot is the conflict between the Barrosos and the Manceras. Leocadia Mancera ( Amparito Arozamena ) has a daughter, Aurora ( Irma Dorantes ), but doesn't approve her daughter's boyfriend Julian Barroso ( Joaquin Cordero ), whose father Artemio ( Nacho Contla ) was Leocadia's love, but just because they couldn't get married when they were young because none of them wanted to give in and let the other choose the location of the family house, had not get along for so long, and now it shouldn't be the time to do it. Father Mauricio starts planning a way to make everybody get together, specially the young couple and their parents, and send love letters he write himself so they can get married. Everything is going according to plan, until Leocadia finds out and gets angry with Artemio and the catfight begins. Another stone along the way is Reynaldo ( Noe Murayama ) who is infatuated with Aurora and tries to stop the wedding too. Finally both Barrosos marry the Manceras.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
