Console output in Javascript

Hi. I'm doing a test for school. I'm trying to create a class that returns the following output in the console.

         movie = new Movie("Lord Of The Rings");  // This is the input
          [Movie "Star Wars"]  // Expected output

Here is my code so far.

var Movie = function Movie(title) {
    this.header =  this.title = (title) ? "[Movie \"" + title + "\"]": "[Movie]";
    this.greatMethod = function(){
     // Do some cool stuff
    }

}


movie = new Movie("Lord Of The Rings"); //  [object Object]

What am I doing wrong here? Am I missing something?

given what you have, maybe:

var Movie = function Movie(title) {
    this.title = (title) ? "[Movie \"" + title + "\"]": "[Movie]";
    this.greatMethod = function(){
     // Do some cool stuff
    }
    this.print = function(){
        console.log(this.title);
    }
}

movie = new Movie("Lord Of The Rings");  // This is the input
movie.print();
