The incomparable master of muffed magic returns with this six-part series from 1975. There are rope tricks, rabbit tricks, even a jacket-and-shirt trick... if you're quick enough to catch them, that is! Tommy is joined by the lovely Lynsey de Paul, who supplies a song for each show, and stalwart assistant David Hamilton - who also doubles up as an in-depth interviewer to probe the great man's mind in 'Fez to Fez'. Other stars risking their reputation include Victor Spinetti and Dandy Nichols - as a strange pair with a very odd way of making ends meet - and Ian Hendry (The Lotus Eaters), who realises 'it's not a question of guessing what Tommy's going to do next - it's a question of guessing what he's doing now!'
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.
