Antonio studies law at college, but he feels unhappy because his true hobby is bullfighting, but his parents are against it. Antonio asks his godfather Don Luis, who owns a ranch, for help to convince his father, but everything is useless. Antonio argues with his parents, who threaten to take away his word and, of course, his money, but he, determined, leaves and takes with him Lucinda, a young orphan and without money with whom he is in love. On the first occasion he throws himself into a spontaneous bullring where he triumphs, but when he is making the last pass, he suffers a catch. At first he doesn't seem serious. Manuel receives a visit from a businessman who offers him a great contract, he accepts, but when he is about to leave the hospital Manuel feels that he cannot move his legs.
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.
