After I edited the profile of an Italian movie, "L'Onorevole Angelina" (1947) with Anna Magnani

using the film credits and watching the movie...
out of curiosity I also took a glance at IMDB, and found out that a few character names are incorrectely spelled. For instance, a "Garrone" becomes "Carrone".
Just to let you know

I want a DVD of this film...

I haven't seen it in decades.
If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.

It certainly wouldn't be the millionth and first time that Imdb has had a mistake.

What Imdb made "mistake" 
Are you sure, reverify your credit. Imdb is the best database on the universe ...






























I'm not serious. They are mistake on almost every film in their database.

I am absolutely shocked at the failure in accuracy of the vaunted and much touted IMDb...........NOT!!!!!

Somebody tell me something, what was the last film that IMDb had ANY kind of hand in the making of.

Hey, just yesterday, I was going through a profile in DVD Profiler and you know what? I found an error!! Do you believe it? It's a true story! So I had to look in the on-line help to figure out how to make one of them there contributions. Anyway, it's submitted now so as soon as it's approved, we can get our breath back. Wow, am I glad that I found this mistake in no. one movie database in the universe - because that must really have been the last one! The "accuracy" of DVD Profiler is now complete! Ditch IMDb - it's totally useless - besides, it's owned by those bastards from Amazon...



Hey, wait a minute... I just discovered.... no wait.... yup, look what I found a the bottom of a profile in IMDb:


Does that mean that errors can be corrected, just like in DVD Profiler?? Wow, so they use their users to enter data, just like us? But...but... that's just stupid! Regular people don't know anything! Guess, the difference is not that big after all (if you neglect the insignificant fact that IMDb is a billion times larger than DVDP and that alone makes it an invaluable reference for looking up movies - whether a role description have a spelling error in it or not). I really learned something today. Wow, the internet is really cool, huh?

I bet they correct the error and then add another.

Is there a profile in IMDb that isn't in error?
