Phillip is a strapping young man who's been sent to spend the summer with rich relatives at their beautiful country estate. Although there are many outdoor activities to amuse him, including horses to ride and scenic delights for his photography hobby, soon his fancy turns elsewhere... He discovers he can observe his attractive aunt in her bedroom through a perfectly situated keyhole. Consumed with awakening desire, his agonizing, frustrating vigils at the keyhole become an obsession, and he begins to secretly photograph her - in her most private moments and in rapturous lovemaking with her husband. The arrival of an appealing young French maid his age merely fans Phillip's lust for his aunt, and he schemes to have her at any cost...even to using the new maid to lure his uncle away. As he carries out his plan, the film builds to a full realization of Phillip's erotic fantasies...a sizzling climax in the steam summer heat.
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.
