Antonis, who is in love with Roula, must find a way to convince her brother to allow him to marry her.
Head over heels for Roula, the girl of his dreams, the poor but honest waiter, Antonis Pikramenos, apart from his vulnerable financial state, has one more problem to worry about: Roula's austere brother, Captain Vagelis Vagianis, who entirely objects to their relationship. Under those circumstances, marriage is certainly out of the question; however, what if Antonis was willing to go to great lengths to get the girl? Without delay, Antonis prepares himself for an extreme makeover and a complete change of identity--a bold plan that seems to pay well; nevertheless, can the well-intentioned breadwinner hide forever behind a weak disguise?

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.
