Hurricane (1979) wrong credit for actor

Just to set the record straight, not that it matters very much : please allow me to use your board to rectify (for the first time) a "manipulation" that gave a wrong credit fotr the actor who played the role of Cpl. Morrah in the movie Hurricane (1979) entirely filmed on the island of Bora Bora. It was NOT Willie Myers but Alex W. du Prel, that is ... me.
At the time, I was the owner of the Bora Bora Yacht Club and we and one morning Dino de Laurentis came by and asked me to play the role of Corporal Morrah as, he said, the actor had broken an arm and could not come. At the time we were only 11 Eropeans permanent residents on Bora Bora.
I played the role entirely (at $200 per day on the set), did my own stunts, etc. and it is me really on the screen.
Strangely, as the movie was released, this name Willie Myers was on the screen as playing my part. Dino de Laurentis who was present at the first showing of the movie (on a soccer field in front of the population - 2000 people) on Bora Bora , said that "someone must have pulled strings in the cutting room".
Every actor who plays in the movie, especialy James Keach, but also Dino, Raphaella De Laurentis Jan Troell can testify to the truth of the above.
