In the wake of an atomic disaster, the entire male population of the Earth has been rendered sterile, except for a young man named Adam who was deep below the planet's surface in an iron mine at the time of the accident. This hapless nonentity suddenly finds himself feted as humanity's savior, exhibited to international teams of scientists, and instructed to leave his wife and instead join his new harem of beauty contest winners; until, that is, the fateful day when other males start to regain their potency and Adam is no longer 'special'. This satirical sci-fi movie is of interest not merely for its candid approach to sex and sexuality, but also because it's an unauthorized adaptation of Pat Frank's 1946 novel “Mr. Adam”.

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.
