Sami Akyanak is an old Yeşilçam actor who is now in his seventies. Having not received any job offers for a long time, he begins to think he has been forgotten and withdraws into himself, effectively locking himself away at home. In response to this situation, our neighborhood's sweetheart, Belgin, one day knocks on Sami Bey's door and announces her engagement, but reveals that she had lied about being the daughter of a wealthy family. Since she has no one else, she asks him to pretend to be her wealthy grandfather when the groom's family comes to ask for her hand. At first, Sami Bey strongly opposes this proposal, but he can no longer resist Belgin’s insistence, whom he loves like a daughter. Now Belgin’s plan has begun. The next step is to find a groom candidate Sami Bey doesn’t know and a mansion.
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.
