He was a camera operator, but who credited them back then?!

You might be able to add his name here, many people have "uncredited" after their name....

For this film:
Other crew
Margaret Furse .... assistant costumer
Walter Goehr .... conductor
Nigel Huke .... camera operator
Suria Magito .... dance arranger
J. Arthur Rank .... presenter
Margaret Sibley .... continuity
Roy Douglas .... additional orchestrator (uncredited)
John Huntley .... music technician (uncredited)

Not that I don't believe you, but it does say "Crew verified as complete"!

Yeah I noticed the 'crew verified as complete thing, but back then you were just a man on a job, not an integral part of the film, and they just wern't credited.

People use that "verified as complete" way too much on IMDb. I've seen movies where they only had like 3 of the 50 or so people in the movie listed and it was marked "verified as complete."

Maybe people don't know what that means or something.

It's also bad when someone who was on screen for 20 seconds is listed under Cast but the stars and secondary actors are all listed under "rest of cast listed alphabetically". The people who were actually on screen for most of the movie got dissed. How annoying.



No two persons ever watch the same movie.
