Victor Borge: The Great Dane of Comedy"Victor Borge: The Great Dane Of Comedy" is a hilarious look at the comedy and music from the Borge vaults, featuring such classic comedy bits as "Count Fall-off-of", "Play Something On the Piano", "The Mozart Opera" and many more. Hailed as a child prodigy, Victor Borge began his performing career as a concert pianist in the 1920s. For eight decades he was never out of the spotlight. "The Great Dane", as the beloved international humorist and musician was known, was celebrated around world for his unique blend of comedy and music. Don't miss his one-liners, falls, double-takes, his mastery of piano variations and his outrageous stage antics. Victor Borge has been recognized as one of the funniest performers the world has ever known.
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.
