It looks like you want with to use an object named by the variable movie.
"_[movie]" calls the object named by the variable movie. You probably want
"_.getitem(movie)" which returns the object named by the variable movie
without rendering it.

PS. Whenever you see Zope complaining that a string doesn't have an
attribute there's a good chance that you're using a rendered object, that
is to say, a string, rather than the object itself.
