Record number: 10655

Title: Captain Ron
Medium: Movie
Actress: Meadow Sisto

Description: 1992 film
Caroline Harvey (Meadow Sisto)is handgagged by her father (played by Martin Short) near the end of the film. She yells at the bad guys to leave her stuff alone as they look at her clothing taken from their family yacht. Her father then grabs and handgags her in an attempt to keep her quiet.

Check
Record number: 10657

Title: Mighty Joe Young
Medium: Movie
Actress: Terry Moore

Description: In the last minutes of the movie, characters are watching a (silent) home movie sent by Jill Young (Moore) with a lighthearted scene. At the start, only she is onscreen. A lariat thrown from offscreen falls around her arms. She pulls her arms out after about 10-15 seconds, but leaves the rope around her waist for the rest of the "movie" (maybe a minute and a half). Her boyfriend (husband?) holding the rope and Joe come onto the screen for part of it. The boyfriend keeps some tension on the rope most of the time, and pulls her to himself for a kiss at the end. Jill appears to be wearing a workshirt and jeans.

"You will notice that the title is written in the IMDB style, with the article following the text. So if you were to search for "The Professionals" the search would fail. The best thing to do is leave off the articles completely. In fact, it's recommended that you focus on one key word to search for"

Aware of the problem.

There is a way to sort this.
Leave with me.
I'm going to word the method for Brian's search tips.
Thanx

Looks like I need to update that one, as it doesn't
reflect the newer search features. I need to merge it
with the new search page (below).

re: 10657
First, Brian the one to ask if "lassos" okay for Database?

For the rest of problems,
here's your suggestions from Editors:

"You will notice that the title is written in the IMDB style,
search would fail.
In fact, it's recommended that you focus on one key word to search for"
"You can also use a combination of fields to try to narrow your search"

Okay, so you ran title, and actress, through IMDB and got same two results.
Mighty Joe Young (1998) aka Mighty Joe
Mighty Joe Young (1949) aka Mr. Joseph Young of Africa
However,
part marked in "red" in description relates Terry Moore aka Jan Ford aka Judy Ford aka Helen Koford plays character Jill Young in the 1949 one. Opposed to Elegant Woman in 1998 one.

So suggest use the combination of fields back through IMDB to differentiate between them. As this how the Editor eventually will do it.

Yeah, suggested IMDB Captain Ron (1992) search failed as Date entered in Description.

So, changing my suggestion.
First search just the title in IMDB for Movies same as suggested for TV Series, this case Captain Ron.
Came up fine when tried that way.
Then 2nd narrow down Captain Ron (1992) search.

If you notice this in others, let us know.
Eventual I'd like to get all the Movies lined up same for ease of searching.
Thanx
