1. MANNER OF USING

 

a  ENTRY PAGE

 

Attention : The "Logout" icon is useful for the administrators only.

 

The « Research » engine (recherche) brings you directly to any actor, real name, place, date, death cause, the same is mentioned on the entries. Be sure of the correct spelling before you start your research.

Exemples :

- If you type "DELON", you’ll find all the entries where this word is found.

The same way you’ll find the entry of Jean CARMET, because his movie "LA MADELON" is mentioned. If you type "DELON Alain", the research will be more limited.

- If you are searching for a complete date : type the day in 1 or 2 numbers, followed by a space, by the month in French, another space and the year in 4 digits.

- If you are searching for a specific year : 2003 for example, type : % % 2003 or %-%-2003 or %/%/2003

- If you are searching for a month and year, use the same way : % juillet 2003 or %-juillet-2003 or %/juillet/2003.

 

The icon "Afficher" will bring you to the selected entry.

 

The blue arrow "Imprimer la fiche" will be used to print the selected entry.

 

The icon "Liste d'impression complète" will be used to print the page you are looking at (13 entries maximum).

 

The icon "Liste d'impression des modifications récentes" allow you to see or print any news additions or correction of entries recently made on the website database. This list will be made by an administrator and will change all the time. Every Sunday at 12PM (Paris local time), this list will be erased and a new one will start at the same time.

 

The icon "Remerciements" allows you to consult the list of people or organisations that really helped me since the beginning of “Les Gens du Cinéma” in 1994.

 

The icon "Bibliographie" allows you to see all the documents that are useful for the starting of this encyclopedy of the movie people.

 

The icon "Contact" allows you to contact me directly via e-mail.

 

The icon "New" allows the guests to see all the important news on the website. (For example: a new green or orange icon on an page).

 

 

B  CONSULTING PAGE

 

As indicated, this page will allow you to see the complete file of any person you will select.

 

In case of a picture not shown or if the movie poster is missing, some aleatory pictures are shown as well as certain friendly websites addresses.

 

The working of this website allows you to save or send those pictures or movie posters. Meanwhile, I still forewarn you against the copyrights ©.

 

The chosen format and resolution however are not good for any type of manipulations.

 

The movie poster shown on the selected character’s file will not really illustrate his career. Inevitably, it will remain a discovery surprise and a personal choice.

 

The icon "Retour" will bring you directly to the previous screen without the need of Microsoft Internet Explorer.

 

The "Previous" arrow will bring you directly to the previous file without coming back to the selection screen.

 

The "Next" arrow will allow you to browse directly into the next file.

 

If under a movie poster, the green icon "Galerie d'affiches" appears, that means that a gallery of posters is available (i.e.: Marilyn MONROE).

 

If under a movie poster, the orange icon "Bibliographie" appears, that indicates that a biography and a complete filmography are available.
