Link to the original page on the Movie DB

Hello everyone
I use some information from the MovieDB on my site. I want to allow the user to click on a link to get directly to the openMovieDB and the relevant movie-page. Most other API's offer something like "siteurl" or similar to provide this. Or they use the id in the url to point to the right page.
Am I missing something or how do I link to a specific movie using the info from the API ?
Thanks in advance Michael Lurie

Depending on what information your using from MovieDB. If you hold the MovieID from MovieDB what you could do is use the API to search a movie by title and return ID. Then what you need to do for a link is some thing like below:
The space between the < and the a is there because otherwise it tries to create a link on the page.
