Tang Kei-Chan (Chinese: 鄧寄塵) (February 17, 1912-July 2, 1991), born in Nanhai, Guangdong, China, graduated from Nanhai Middle School, later joined the Yangcheng Music Society as a composer, and worked as a broadcaster for Guangzhou Xinsheng Radio and Times Radio after the war. In 1949, he joined the Voice of Hong Kong Radio Station. He specialized in being humorous. One person played in eight different voices and performed radio dramas. Therefore, he won the reputation of "The King of Comedy". His third son, Deng Zhaohua, was the head and chair professor of the Department of Psychiatry at the Li Ka-shing School of Medicine, University of Hong Kong. He immigrated to Canada in 1975, and later returned to Hong Kong to make guest appearances in movies. He died in the United States in 1991.
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.
