Swing 46 is one of the last swingin supper clubs out of the neo/retro swing era. Born on Restaurant Row in Manhattan, it is still going some 27 years later. “Swing 46: The Last Swingin Supper Club” is a short documentary developed at Montclair State University that gives a snapshot of the overall impact of this key music venue as well as the nationwide swing movement of music, community, history, culture, passion, style, and humanity that brought so many together to swing out like a wildfire! Featuring vintage and modern swing music, photos, and videos as well as live performance footage from Swing 46, memorabilia, and interviews from 16 key figures of the retro swing era spread across several states on the east coast of the United States, “Swing 46: The Last Swingin Supper Club” will have you hooked from the first beat until the final dance!

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.
