"Despite having the name of the production company, it is not possible to find the title of the film in the press of the period. The beginning of the film is missing, so there is no main title. Some children find themselves on a rocky island (in Brittany?). They are visibly devastated, as they had to leave in secret from their parents. On the mainland there is panic. Men leave in a boat and find all the children, except one, little Georges Durieu. Madame Durieu faints. Seeing this, a man who looks a bit like the “village idiot” takes his boat and finds Georges on the island. In the meantime, Mr. Durieu returns from his trip unaware of the situation, and Mrs.Durieu cannot bring herself to tell him of the disappearance of their son. But when the father arrives in his son’s room, Georges is in his bed, brought back by his savior. – Emmanuelle Berthault"
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.
