image not loading because double-quotes not being removed from path

I built my image paths and did a cfdump to check what is being produced:

<!--- Build image paths ---> 
<cfset image_src="../images/f#movie.FilmID#.jpg"> 
<cfset image_path=ExpandPath(image_src)> 


<cfdump var="#image_src#"><br> 
<cfdump var="#image_path#">

I get the following when I run the page:

../images/f5.jpg 
C:\ColdFusion11\cfusion\wwwroot\workspace\OWS\images\f5.jpg

When I right-click on the image place holder and copy the image URL into a browserr address bar, what is being passed is:

http://127.0.0.1:8500/workspace/OWS/10/%E2%80%9D../images/f5.jpg%E2%80%9D

so, it is not taking out the ".. and " from around the image location of the following line as it expands the URL:

<cfset image_src="../images/f#movie.filmid#.jpg">

On another page I deleted the double-quotes and then put them back in and that worked. For some reason it didn't like the double-quotes that were there and didn't recognize the code correctly until I replaced them. I can't get that same solution to work here on this page.

Any help/suggestions? Thanks!
