Vic Savage was an American film director, writer, producer and actor. Savage was born Arthur Nelson White in Bridgeport, Connecticut, but claimed to have been a Cherokee Indian born in Oklahoma. Savage was also known as A. J. Nelson, Bradley Nichols, A. N. White, Arthur J. White, and Arthur N. White. In 1959, Savage wrote and produced the film Street Fighter, which was apparently based on his own brushes with the law as a juvenile and his stay at the Meriden School for Boys in Meriden, Connecticut. Savage also appeared in the movie. In 1964, Savage directed, produced and starred in The Creeping Terror, considered one of the worst films of all time. Savage supposedly funded the film by promising investors small parts in the movie. Before the film's release, Savage faced several law suits and vanished, never to work in movies 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.
