Film Credits

I have been watching a lot of Turner classic movies
lately. The credits at the end of these 'old' movies
are very short. The main actors, peolpe who provided
the make up and dresses and any specialised help,
e.g animal trainers, any stand-ins required then the
directors,and producers.

Today's film credits go on and on, there are sometimes
up to five minutes worth of credits, especially when
there are special effects in the movie.

I am sure that most people walk out of the room as
soon as the credits start. I know I do unless I am
looking for the name of a actor in a a role.

A couple of weeks ago I was changing channels to
watch a movie and the station was still running the
credits from the previous movie, so I was a captive
audience so to speak.

So I was actually watching the unending credits,there
was best boy grip ...... .....and then
worse boy grip Adolf Hitler.

Well I just cracked up! I have no idea which movie
this was, and I have never heard of any one saying
that they have seen this before, (as stated how many
people really watch the credits!) so I just had to
officially record this somewhere.
