So when did end credits replace opening credits as "standard credits"? 1957 would seem like it could go either way... Many old films don't have end credits at all.
See the Rules.

Skip, Patsa was asking the date when Hollywood started using the end credits instead of the opening credits.
This is nothing to do with the rules - it was a general enquiry. Ah, thanks pauls. I don't think that we can pin that down to specific time, even today there are shows that do not use End Credits as we know and love them  , they are rare but once in awhile..... I think you could GENERALLY say per-1965 and post-1965 relative to the use of End Credits, or perhaps I should say widespread usage. But as I said that is not locked in stone, there were many movies pre-1965 that used end credits just as there were many movies post-1965 that di not. But 1965 SEEMS to be the breakpoint of the trends. Skip Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | Prior to the 70's most films just had either the cast and role cards played on screen., or just a Big THE END as the only card on screen. , but I think it was around the mid 70's when the cast /crew and their unions got involved with the film makers (studios) and had them agree to list every single worker involved with the creation of the 'said film' ( including the caterers ) and gave them their 5 seconds of fame on screen. This then opened up the whole gamma of who was involved in film and gave them more ability to 'sell' their occupation to the industry.
Longest credits I'm aware of is Ghostbusters II which ran 9 and half minutes .. Is there any film I might have missed in the past 30 odd years that have longer credits.?? | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird. Now the World is weird and People take Prozac to make it Normal.

| | Posted: | | | | I just wish that television producers would include role names along with the actors' names -- like the do in MOST films. It'd make doing episode profiles so much easier.
I don't know why even with made-for-television movies the credits lack role names. Probably it has something to do with union rules, though why television productions are treated differently from theatrical productions is a mystery. | | | Another Ken (not Ken Cole)

Pirates of the Caribbean 3 credits went on for an age....when la famille Mole saw it in the cinema, we stayed right to the end so that we could watch the final scene. I think we were the only ones left! | | | | Chris | | | | Last edited: by Mole |
