Credit where it's due...

Just finished watching Me and the Colonel. It's interesting to reflect on the difference in credits fifty years ago and now.

Not only aren't there exhaustive lists of everyone involved in all aspects - transport, catering, best boys and gaffers - only the actors with largish parts were named. Even characters with several lines of dialog didn't make it in. Nowadays the credits for even a non-special-effects extravaganza can run for minutes, and something like X-Men? Wow.
