While we're on the subject of film credits, does anybody know what film(s)
started the current trend of using end credits to flash the name of
everybody remotely associated with the making of that film.  Of course,
"Citizen Kane" and "Magnificent Ambersons" (both by Welles) used no
opening credits at all, using end credits (like radio) to feature the
usual listing of cast and production crew.  But sometime in the mid 70's
(my guess), someone got the notion (unions, perhaps?) that the end of a
film is the right place to give credit where it may or may not be due.
Anybody have any thoughts on the matter?
