Hello:
As creator of the Amazon-to-MARC converter I thought it would be apropos
to do a project along the same lines for IMDB. The prototype is
located at http://amazon.libcat.org/cgi-bin/imdb2marc.pl.
I am using Brian Fritz's API (http://imdbapi.com/) to populate the fields.
Here is a MARC (or should I say MARX) example of the motion picture
"Horse Feathers" :
http://amazon.libcat.org/cgi-bin/imdb2marc.pl?kw=tt0023027
The only problem is that there is no material type or publisher, so, the
260 and the 300 are a bit suspect. As with the Amazon-to-Marc product
you can also verify names.
Enjoy,
Charles
