Born in Naples as Emma Costantino, Schürer moved to Milan where began a career as glamour model, posing among others for Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, and debuted on stage in the Giorgio Strehler's Piccolo Teatro. After some secondary roles, she had her first main role in Alberto Cavallone's Le salamandre, and, thanks to the success of the film, she obtained a contract with Alberto Grimaldi, for whom she starred in numerous genre films between 1969 and 1977. In the same years she was also very active on theatre, working with Ugo Gregoretti, Garinei & Giovannini, Mario Missiroli. Later she appeared in some TV-series and shows, such as Domenica insieme and Sereno variabile.
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.
