August 1945. In a remote mill in American-occupied Württemberg, a quintuple murder takes place. The miller and his wife, their two sons, and their daughter Irma were executed, and the daughter was then hanged and smeared with SS runes. However, a young refugee woman named Karin Katte, whose origins and history are unknown to anyone in the village, survived the massacre by chance. The investigation is led by Dave Gladbaker, a Jewish employee of the American secret service whose parents were murdered in a concentration camp. His investigations soon focus on Karin Katte, who Gladbaker suspects must have been the real target of the attack. Katte is suspected of being a former concentration camp guard.
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.
