It's a crisp autumn morning. Marta prepares breakfast and goes to work. Little Jenda has a sore throat, so she has to go to her grandfather's to look after the boy. On the way to work, she reflects on the monotony of her life and marriage, and doubts whether her husband Karel still loves her. She spots a beautiful pair of Indian shoes in a fashion shop and shows them to Karel during her lunch break. He just runs his eyes over them and tells Marta to buy them. Martha is touched by his indifferent words. In the afternoon, encouraged by her colleague, she decides to buy the shoes. She is unlucky, however, as they have already been sold in the meantime. In the evening, Marta dresses for the theatre without any mood. In her wardrobe she discovers a box containing Indian slippers. Her face brightens with a smile and she goes to sew a button to Karl's white shirt without speaking. Suddenly the couple are close again.

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.
