Now when you're using a word-processing app, and ask for
capitalization, it capitalizes every word, e.g., "Devil In A Blue
Dress", and "The Man Without A Country".

 I recall back in 2005 when I was Hugo administrator, we listed the film
"Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow" with "The" capitalized.  Someone
said that was wrong but we said it was what the film's publicity had it
listed as.  However, I now see that there is no capitalization in the
IMDb listing.

IMHO, whether the "The" is capitalized there depends on how the title is parsed.  If it's two phrases "Sky Captain" and "The World of Tomorrow" merged then the "The" is capitalized, OTOH if it's one phrase, "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow", possibly with a comma after "Captain", then it's not.
