I've seen Baby of Macon, and Nils Dorando has far more screen time than 22nd on the credit list would indicate. In fact he's probably the central character. He is the Baby of Macon, and is actually not a baby, but a young boy, and from memory he's in quite a few scenes. However, it is one of those borderline films which may or may not deserve a place on the database. I think at one stage I had listed a bunch of titles to remove from the database, but I let this film remain but it was 50/50 to keep or remove. I was, however, very very close to removing it.
That's what I thought. I haven't watched the film yet, but I have a copy of it and my impression was that he was the main character and had quite a bit of screen time. Which is why I was surprised that it would have been deleted.
Quote:if a line is not drawn somewhere, the number of movie profiles needing to be added would be overwhelming.
I agree. But again, there's a difference between deciding which movies to focus on when creating a new profile and actively going through the database looking for stuff to delete. If the concern here is that there are too many movies featuring boys and we don't have time to create profiles for all of them, then it seems that time would be better spent deciding which ones should be added rather than deleting "borderline" films like Baby of Macon.
Also, consider that someone might make a gallery one day. In which case, you'd have to re-do all this work just so you can put the gallery online.
