 * hi there!
 * The International Motion Picture Almanac ceased in 2014
 * and that pretty much ended the poll
 * it came out yearly, and went under a few different names
 * 1929 - 1929 Motion Picture Almanac
 * 1931 - 1931 Motion Picture Almanac
 * 1932 - 1932 Motion Picture Almanac
 * 1935-1952 - The Motion Picture Almanac
 * 1953-1955 - Motion Picture and Television Almanac
 * 1956-2013 - International Motion Picture Almanac
 * the only minus was Quigley was for censorship and morality in the early year of films
 * [wiki - Martin Quigley (publisher)]
 * Quigley was an active proponent and co-author of the Motion Picture Production Code, which governed the content of Hollywood movies from the 1930s to the 1960s. A devout Catholic, he began lobbying in the 1920s for a more extensive code that not only listed material that was inappropriate for movies, but also contained a moral system that the movies could help to promote – specifically a system based on Catholic theology.
 * Personal life and death
 * Quigley held staunch conservative views particularly in the film industry. His son, Martin Quigley Jr., who shared his views, became active in the editing and publication of the various periodicals established by his father, but had far less impact due to the changing times and the decline of the Code. 2604:3D08:9B77:AB00:81B3:2CCF:95C:9E34 (talk) 01:44, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
 * oh yes
 * my guess for the stopping of the poll, the death of Quigley Jr.
 * Martin Quigley May 6, 1890 – May 4, 1964
 * Martin Quigley Jr. - November 24, 1917 – February 5, 2011
 * so that could be why the 2013 poll was the last one
 * the later issues might have been called
 * 'International Television & Video Almanac' [like in 2003]
 * according to WorldRadioHistory.com
 * The International Television Almanac was published from 1956 to 2014, first by Martin Quigley, and then by Martin Quigley, Jr. and later by his grandson William. A notable part of each Almanac are the hundreds of thumbnail bios of industry and entertainment luminaries.
 * so you can see the 1956 to 2014 versions

Typos?
The Additional listings for 1933 paragraph jumps from 66 to 86, and the Additional Listings for 1934 jumps from 69 to 96. Are these typos? Also, why are there blanks at 11 and 15 in the 2000 list? 149.76.164.210 (talk) 15:05, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
