Robin Williams - Live Across Australia
Ratings / Certifications:
N/A
Runtime: 77
Wild, inventive, unpredictable and hilarious are just some of the words that paint a picture of the irrepressible Robin Williams. A master of comedic improvisation, his on-air interviews and off-centre antics left even the most experienced TV hosts lost for words and in stitches on the floor. Featuring a selection of live TV interviews conducted by the likes of Don Lane (in 1979 with Williams on roller skates discussing TV sensation Mork & Mindy), Ray Martin and Kerri-Anne Kennerley from The Midday Showthrough to Jana Wendt and Helen Dalley from A Current Affair - Williams discusses his breakthrough work on Good Morning Vietnam, his turn as a gay nightclub owner in The Birdcage, his head-turning Oscar ® nominated performance in Dead Poets Society and trip into the future with Bicentennial Man. Robin Williams Live Across Australia celebrates some of the funniest moments of mad-cap spontaneity ever captured on TV, paying tribute to a true comedic legend.
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.
