"Directed in 1960, the second short film from Champeaux studios, Villa Mon Rêve is undoubtedly Albert Champeaux's emblematic film. Awarded in many festivals (Cork, Venice, Acapulco, etc.), it will be distributed internationally by Rank. This is the beginning of the adventures of Mr Schmtz, a nerdy crook with many faces. Three other short films will display the failed scams of this funny guy. This film, broadcast in 1961 as the first part of cinema sessions, is incredibly modern, benefited by the magnificent sets by Pierre Watrin and very contemporary animation and production. This film, which comes the ages without a wrinkle, was chosen by the second French TV channel (at the time Antenne2) for the transition period to color broadcasting." - https://youtu.be/4Req92LU290

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.
