I am an old codger with advancing senility and even though I'm a long time user of DVD Profile I still don't know know how to add movies, or even correct them as in this case. I've tried but it never works.

But...The film "55 Days at Peking" has numerous (4) spelling errors in the overview.
I have put a corrected version below and I would appreciate it if someone could copy/paste correct it for me.
Thank you and I do appreciate all the work some of you must do to add films to the profile.

Present Spelling:

The film 55 Days at Peking is a stunning Hollywood epic...a powerful production with a cast of thousands that packs the screen with action and romance.

It is a sweeping story of loyalty and love, as a small group of foreigners are trapped inside the Frobidden City of Peking, under siege by thousands of Chinese fanatics during The Boxer Rebellion.
The courage and leadership of a U.S. Marine Major (Charlton Heston), and the Britis Ambassador(David Niven) are the only hope against insumountable odds, while a beautiful Russian Countess (Ava Gardener) must choose between freedom or commitment.

Bronston's 55 Days at Peking is an unfogettable tale of unparalleled fury, brought to life with the passion, romance and violance of a historic time.

Corrected Spelling:

The film 55 Days at Peking is a stunning Hollywood epic...a powerful production with a cast of thousands that packs the screen with action and romance.
It is a sweeping story of loyalty and love, as a small group of foreigners are trapped inside the Forbidden City of Peking, under siege by thousands of Chinese fanatics during The Boxer Rebellion.
The courage and leadership of a U.S. Marine Major(Charlton Heston), and the British Ambassador(David Niven) are the only hope against insurmountable odds, while a beautiful Russian Countess(Ava Gardener) must choose between freedom or commitment.

Bronston's 55 Days at Peking is an unforgettable tale of unparalleled fury, brought to life with the passion, romance and violence of a historic time.

Are these spelling mistakes also on the actual cover? If the spelling mistakes are on the actual cover they must remain in the overview per rules. You could change it locally and lock it... but the main database must match the cover exactly.

If the mistake is only in the profile (cover has correct spelling)... then it should be fixed online.

you didn't say if this is for a DVD or a Blu-ray... which edition  if there is multiple. Would need the UPC number at least.

I edited my original post to underline Britis but did have it corrected in the corrected copy/paste version, just forgot to underline it in the corrected version (now you know why I don't edit listings, forgetfulness).   

Thanks guys for fixin' it.

EDIT:
That was for disk ID 60FE2627CEA2178F [DVDVolume].  I didn't check any other versions.

whenever you make corrections or adds to your profile the first thing you'll notice is a Gold disc with a hand underneath.. That hand is yours and the program is advising you to contribute thus the hand under neath ..

hoovering over the gold disc - Right click with your mouse, this now asks you "Contribute or Never contribute '  .. click contribute , another box comes up asking if you would like to include the cover art  or not ,, put in your notes and click the various sections you want to contribute .. Pretty easy ., you had stated in your notes tried but never succeeded ..

In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.
