Misspelling of the word 'meet.'


Under the Rating section where there is a brief summary of the movie, in the second sentence it says "He meats a pretty heiress...." The word 'meat' should be spelled 'meet.' There is this same error scrolling down the page under the Storyline section. I didn't proof read the rest, I just noticed this while looking it over. I do not know how to correct this...hopefully someone will be able to so it looks more professional.

Why worry about such things when the descriptions are written by fans and not a professional writer? You, for instance, wrote "proof read" when it's proofread, and I'm not losing sleep here over it.

Yes, because glimmer and spilling is never impotent for communication.

Fans write those descriptions so what's the point of bringing it up here?

I'm so sorry, you're absolutely correct, and touché!! :) :)

What does that have to do with the movie itself?
