Richard Attenborough


A little odd, I thought, that Richard Attenborough is unbilled in this film. It's a small role but not an insignificant one, and he does have his own little flashback as well as a couple of brief but notable scenes during the film. It was his first film but going unrecognised in the cast is unusual considering some of the tiny roles which are listed - including baby Juliet Mills (who I guess was recognised because of being Johnny's daughter, but still...)

It was an oversight that he didn't receive onscreen credit, wasn't done on purpose.
