Nadia loves acting and looks forward to working in cinema. She meets Mona, the secretary of the producer Mamdouh, who introduces her to him. Mamdouh makes her believe that the film's heroine has had a disagreement with him, and because she looks exactly like her, he asks her to complete the film. Nadia discovers the matter, as the actress Laila, Mamdouh's wife, who looks exactly like her, was killed by her brother Saeed in order to obtain the inheritance. Because she was threatening him with a forged power of attorney, Mamdouh exploits Nadia to make Saeed believe that Laila is still alive so that he can take revenge on him. Sami, Nadia's fiancé, becomes worried about her absence, so he informs the police. Saeed arrives and tries to kill Nadia, but things take a turn for the worse.
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.
