knives wrote:A whole bunch of Maurice Pialat's short films are missing. from the Under the Sun of Satan disc there's Isabelle aux Dombes(1951) and Congres Eucharistique Diocesain(1953). Also from the La Gueule Ouverte disc there's Droles de Bobines(1957, Funny Reels), L'Ombre Familiere(1958, The Familiar Shadow), Bosphore(1964), and Maitre Galip(1964, Master Galip). Many thanks in advance.
The first two have appeared already (although, of course, it's in the barest of forms to begin with - the rest of the details will appear over the next few days)...

I've tried my best on the four missing Pialat's. Three have yet to come up but Maître Galip has come up even though under the wrong year. It's listed as 1962 instead of 1964. They're all going to be in the most basic forms so any further updates of course would be kind.

This is something I simply don't know how to fix, but The Musicians is listed as being from 1960 when it is from 1958(opening at the Oberhausen short film festival that year).

You can go the the release dates page and submit the 1958 date along with the festival's name in the release date attribute field. You don't need the complete date - if all you have is the year that's fine.

Thanks, hopefully that works despite my 0% success rate on these things. Anyways I got the Cameo Jose Val del Omar boxset today and have already applied Vibración De Granada. Hopefully it gets through and I'll try to squeeze in the rest asap.

Antnield since you're more knowledgeable on this stuff maybe you could fix the date on Jennings' Cargoes which is listed as 1939, but the new BFI disc claims is 1940. They also don't have Britain Can Take It! which is also on the new release and is made from the same materials as London Can Take It! (as described in the new release announcement. I figure this might save you some time for when the disc is available. Also missing is Paul Rotha's 1933 documentary Contact and Shadow of the Mountain (1931, Arthur Elton) from the Turksib disc.

Not quite the same as a missing entry, but I wonder how many IMDB name entries are conflations of more than one person, or one person's work split over more than one entry? I remember years ago pointing out to them that Angela Punch and Angela Punch McGregor were the same person - they did fix that. I've just pointed another of these out to them - UK actor David Tse aka David K.S. Tse (whom I was at University with).

A conflation that will take some sorting out is Bob Barrett (I), an entry which is a combination of the filmographies of a UK actor (in the current cast of Holby City and who was in Shakespeare in Love) and an Australian actor (whom I saw recently when I watched The Killing of Angel Street on DVD), plus possibly someone (billed as Bob C. Barrett) who was in The Electric Horseman and who may be someone else again.
