Andy innocently becomes involved with a female customer; his wife jumps to the wrong conclusion and walks out on him.

Andy is left alone to mind the clothing store while his wife goes to the Amazon Hotel for Women to practice rolling bandages for the Red Cross. A woman comes in to buy a pair of shoes and tells Andy she wants the pair on the mannequin on the sidewalk. Andy mistakes a lounging (wasn't she always) Barbara Pepper for a mannequin and takes a shoe off of her foot. This does not go unnoted by her highly jealous boyfriend Vernon Dent, who pokes Andy in the jaw. A couple of more incidents with the blonde gets Andy more trouble. He goes to the Amazon Hotel for Women to get his wife and can't get past the Amazon House Dick, and disguises himself as a woman. That he eventually ends up in the Blonde's room, shortly ahead of the arrival of his wife, the jealous boyfriend and the very-mannish House Detective should come as no surprise to anyone... other than Andy.

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.
