Item: Virtually Married
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: Movie doesn't appear ever to have been distributed in English. There are no independent authorities online that corroborate the title chosen here, only pages that cut/paste information from tmdb. "Virtually," with its computer-science overtones, isn't a good translating choice here. Title-box is locked.

Thanks for your report!

Both IMDb and the BFI list the title Virtually Married as an alternative title - they both don't cut/paste information from TMDb. But they're also not independent authorities.

I also found this title in the following Google Books result page:

https://books.google.de/books?id=AX3GCwAAQBAJ&pg=PA310&lpg=PA310&dq=alameda+%22virtually+married%22&source=bl&ots=w-QgC_7kge&sig=K8-lsj3-RrDlIruJoZlBAFX9fxw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjXsKGJh9LdAhVEGsAKHXw4B_UQ6AEwBXoECAMQAQ#v=onepage&q=alameda%20%22virtually%20married%22&f=false

It's listed in the obituary of Alfredo Ripstein Jr., who was the founder of production company Alameda Films, which produced this movie. The list includes Spanish and English titles -> I'm not sure if we can trust this in any way. But again, that's a source not using info from TMDb. I'm afraid this is more complicated and needs more research.

I also couldn't find an official English release under that title (or any title).

isn't a good translating choice here

I do not speak Spanish, but "Almost Married" seem to be a more popular translation. In my opinion, it should be moved the the alternative titles. We have veto power over bad unofficial titles.

I only found other obituaries who use this title and a webshop who sells a DVD of the movie with an English translation:

https://www.dvdplanetstore.pk/shop/romance/virtually-married-1961

But it doesn't look trustworthy at all. So, no official English title -> I removed it and added to the alternative titles both "Almost Married" and "Virtually Married" as translated titles. Not sure if we need both - but it might help people if they search for the IMDb title here?!?

Yeah, I've come across this fishy-looking website before. I'm 99.9% sure they use our data because they often "sell" DVDs for films made by Letterboxd users.

It can't hurt.
