Roger Vrigny (19 May 1920, Paris – 16 August 1997, Lille) was a 20th-century French writer. A professor, Roger Vrigny turned to the theater in 1950 by founding a small company ("La Compagnie du Miroir"), before devoting himself to literature with his first novel, Arban, in 1954. He entered literature under the aegis of the writer and poet Robert Mallet. Also a radio personality, Roger Vrigny hosted the program Belles Lettres on the ORTF in 1955, then the Matinée littéraire on France Culture from 1966. For thirty years, he animated various literary programs, the most recent being "Lettres Ouvertes", aired every Wednesday on France Culture. He was a member of the jury of the Prix Renaudot. Roger Vrigny never stopped working as a novelist, essayist and publisher, all activities also marked by discretion and demand. In 1963, he received the Prix Femina for his book La Nuit de Mougins, and in 1989 the Grand prix de littérature de l'Académie française for all of his work. His last published work, Instants dérobés (Éditions Gallimard, 1996), was composed of extracts from his diary held from 1972 to 1991. He died at the age of 77. He is buried in Picardy, in his village of adoption Wiry-au-Mont. Source: Article "Roger Vrigny" from Wikipedia in English, licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0.

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.
