Venice, 1755. Giacomo Casanova, just returned from exile in Vienna, threatens to kill hearts and create havoc in the city with his unparalleled charisma. Meanwhile, the Doge Francesco Loredan is in poor health and the Inquisitor Pietro Garzoni plots to influence in his favor the succession to the Dogado. In this regard, the latter intends to get rid of Casanova, because it could ruin his plans, and to the purpose he entrusts the evil Zago. While at Cantina do Mori, the Prince of Seductors meets an old flame: the beautiful Gretchen, who leads him to the palace of Countess Margarethe von Steinberg, for whom she works as a waitress. Here, Casanova meets the great lady and is challenged by her in a singular bet: if he succeeds in seducing the young Francesca Erizzo, daughter of one of the elders of the city, she - Margarethe - will be his for one night.

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.
