WHAT?? Only 12 Cast Members Billed in Film!!!


I cannot believe 20th Century-Fox only had the courtesy to give billing in the movie to a mere twelve players in this two-hour and 20 minute epix!!! I've seen more cast listed in the credits of an 58-minute B picture!! They left out such major cast members as Juan, Mrs. de Vargas, and Doria Marina (Cortez's intrepreter). Of course we can now found out who played those and other unbilled parts thanks to IMDB but what a shame that information comes decades after the deaths of many of these players.

I know this is an OT, but that is how they did things in the studio days.

Totally not like now, where they list the names of the flies that followed the roach coach, whom feeds the crew.

Different from today, when ten minutes at the end of every film are spent running the names of sandwich makers, truck drivers, plant waterers, about 3,000 computer geeks, and coffee gofers to the third assistant bookkeeper. Names nobody but their moms care about seeing.
