Quoting Gerri Cole:

In this case, the letters are mixed case, since some are smaller and some are larger. I would go ahead and submit it as mixed case.

I will live with this decision, if it is final. 

I would ask that you reconsider your answer, while looking at the entire context of the overview.

Here is the region 1 cover of the film.

Notice, the only things that are in small caps are the proper names of the actors/actresses.  The rest of the overview is in regular capitalization.

I do not think this was a limit of the desktop graphix software or the typesetter.  I believe this was intentional.

edit.  Notice also, even though they are small caps, they are still larger than the lower case letters of the rest of the overview..

I am a printer. I own a design firm. I have worked with type since linotype machine and have set type from cases. Upper case type characters (you call capitals) are in the upper cases. Lower case type is in the lower cases. Small caps (as in these names) are in lower cases. Small caps is, in fact, a form of lower case letters.

Anything else is incorrect. To call small caps upper case or all caps can only come from lack of knowlege of true typefaces.

Gerri's ruling is absolutely correct.

I don't agree with the ruling but nonetheless, I'm still glad we've got an official answer.

Once again, and for the last time, we can't replicate true typefaces in Profiler so it should be a non-issue.  How much easier things would be if we could enter the text exactly as it is written, but we can't.  Since we can't, we have to enter them as best we can.  In this case, they used the small caps to set the actor names apart from the rest of the text...similar to the use of bold or italics.  To enter them in lowercase misrepresents the actual overview.

That being said, while I don't agree, I will abide by Gerri's ruling.

Well said and I fully agree.

A hypothetical situation for those who were in favour of mixed case here. If there was an overview where the main part was in ordinary, indisputable block capitals but the actors names were like here in a font that also had small caps, would you enter the bulk in block capitals & the names in mixed case or would you enter it all in mixed case?

Ohhhh...I smell a trap.

I would enter it in mixed case...all of it.

And I know what you are going to argue..... "...but the whole overview is not in all caps."

I'd still enter it all in mixed case.

It wasn't meant as a trap, I was genuinely interested to know how people would deal with that. Thanks for being honest with your response.

As you've said mix case, can you explain how you would technically come to the opposite answer to the OP. Again no trap intended just trying to establish in my own mind how two almost identical situations can result in the answer being the opposite.

I'm not really sure that I understand your question.  The OP did not have an answer in it...only a question about which way would be right.

But, even though I believe that the names are in mixed case, the rest of the overview is in all caps (in your hypothetical) and I would have no problem with "ignoring" the mixed case of the names when it comes to applying the Rule that says if the Overview is in all caps, to enter it in mixed case.  Entering the overview in all caps, except for the names, would look awful and reduce readability.

Not sure if I've answered your question or not.
