delete[] filmArray;

struct Foo {
char * name;

Foo * bar = new Foo[3];
bar[0].name = new char[20];
// ...
delete[] bar[0].name;
delete[] bar;
It gets fairly tediuous to allocate each field like this, so the
allocation and decallocation of individual elements would normally be put
in the constructor and destructor of a class.
All of this stuff will be described in an introductory C++ book (and a
different mechanism will be described for C), and none of this is specific
to PalmOS.
