Loving husband, father and grandfather. Lucky to live a full 91 years. He had a life of success, happiness, family, wisdom and love. A pioneer in the early days of Television, Stanley was a messenger at Warner Bros at the age of 18. He enlisted in the First Motion Picture Unit of the Army Air Corps in World War II launching his film editing career. Editing for a span over 50 years, Stanley was Post Production Supervisor and Supervising Editor at McCadden Productions, working on shows in the 1950's, such as, Burns and Allen, I Married Joan, The Bob Cummings Show, People's Choice, and The Jack Benny Show. Stanley became a Commercial Director directing commercials which led to forming his own Production Company and producing the feature, "Man-Trap" for Paramount Studios. Always an editor at heart, Stanley continued to edit in the 1960's and 1970's and 80's on TV Shows, The Beverly Hillbillies, My Favorite Martian, The Monkees, Get Smart, Columbo and Charlie's Angels. Later, he was an editor on the films, Young Doctors in Love and Milagro Beanfield War. A past President of America Cinema Editors and The Motion Picture Editor's Guild, Stanley loved Editing and training young people in the profession. Many famous Editors have gone on to great careers after passing through Stanley's Editing Room. Born in Chicago, Stanley moved with his mother to Los Angeles at a very young age. He spent a lot of time with his gradparents, growing up in Boyle Heights during the Depression. He went to Roosevelt High School and was on the track team. His hobbies were golf, watching sports and reading. He is survived by wife Diane Frazen; children, Nancy Frazen, Marcy Frazen Toschi, Robert Frazen; grandchildren, Matthew, Griffin, Spencer and Amy and first wife Frances Frazen. Stanley had a strong will to live and a passion for life. Always wanting his family around him, his love for his family was endless and he will be missed so much.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
