Two poor roommates, Spouritis and Floros, owe their landlady, Mrs. Persephone, several months' rent and are in danger of being thrown out onto the street at any moment. One day, they take on a job painting a house, but Spouritis's repeated blunders cause them to be chased by the owner, who demands that they pay for the damage. In their attempt to escape, they come across a dying woman, who entrusts them with a sick child and asks them to find his father. The two friends, kind-hearted and compassionate as they are, take it upon themselves to place an ad in a newspaper to find the boy's father. Coincidentally, the child's father is someone who is pursuing them. They try various tricks to avoid him. Then they get into trouble as photographers, and so someone else takes up the chase, resulting in a series of mishaps and blunders.
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.
