Danish version of Alexandre Bisson's play Madame X.
A husband discovers his wife is unfaithful, and casts her off. One of the children is taken ill, and the wife tries to see the sick child, but her husband refuses to let her enter. Broken-hearted, she goes to America, where she gets into bad company. She shoots a man who wants to blackmail her son, now a rising man. She is tried for murder, and refuses to give any information regarding herself to the judge, as she is afraid it might get to her son's ears. Great is her horror when she finds that the man who is to defend her at the trial is her own son. She also recognizes her husband, who has come to the court to see his son conduct the case. The young barrister, without knowing that it is his own mother he is defending, pleads for her so well that she is acquitted. The husband relents, as his wife is dying, and tells his son that he has been defending his own mother, who dies in the arms of her long-lost son.
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.
