It is summer in the early 1930s, and two brothers, Erik and Johan, have inherited their family's property, consisting of two houses on the banks of the Ätran River in Falkenberg. Erik, who runs a trading and import business, lives in the nicer of the two houses. Erik is married to the distinguished Mrs. Aurore. The household also includes Aurore's niece Maj-Britt and the maid Malin. Malin is constantly in love and is currently being courted by police officer Karlsson and postman Dag-Otto. Johan, a bricklayer, lives in the smaller cottage. He is married to Hanna, and their son Albin is studying to become an engineer. The differences between the two brothers often lead to discord between them, and when Albin and Maj-Britt fall in love, no one is pleased.

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.
