Sound roles in old movies, what would you do with these?

FWIW, IMO, unless it's a silent film , they should get a sound credit. But that's just me. Add them and lock your profile.

That's what I've started doing.  If the movie has sound, then obviously somebody did the work.  Just because I can't find an identical text string match in the credits doesn't make it a silent film.  When that particular somebody is actually getting Academy Awards for sound work, that's good enough for me, text string mismatch notwithstanding. 

Of course I keep all these heretical ideas local.

I probably also shouldn't open my mouth, but I can't seem to control myself... 

Since you say these are the only sound-releated credits in these movies, I'd award both with a "sound" credit. IMHO both credits are close enough to the job descriptions listed in the rules under the "sound" credit, and it seems to me this is exactly what the credit is meant for (yes, people, intent !). However, to contribute or not to contribute, that's the question...

Agreed! And I would contribute them.
