A thug who calls out to girls at Ueno Station, tricks them, and sells them to a brothel. He is a bad worker and has not yet been recognized as an official member by the gang. He is feeling down after letting his prey escape that day, when an innocent-looking girl who just came from the countryside calls out to him. She asks if he knows of anywhere she can work. The man is convinced that he has been tricked, so he takes the girl sightseeing first, and when he has calmed her down, he takes her to an inn and embraces her. The girl is a virgin. He is hesitant to hand over the innocent girl to the gang, but the gang's executives are pleased that she is a top-quality girl and give him an exorbitant reward. The man is delighted, but soon finds out that the girl is a slut who pretends to be a virgin to pursue men and extort money from them. The gang demands that the man take responsibility, and the man is gradually cornered...
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.
