Thanks for starting this thread.  I've now changed my yes vote to no (I never review yes votes).

The title is definitely 'Bud Abbott and Lou Costello Meet Frankenstein" under the new Rules:

"Use the title from the front cover". 

This is not a possessive, so we don't need to check anyplace else.

I missed the bit about trying to list Lugosi and Chaney as "uncredited".

How can they be "uncredited" when they are listed in the credits? 


Their monster roles are uncredited ..

Isn't Kevin Costners Hand credited as Uncredited in The Big Chill ???

Once again, by your logic Chevy Chase would have one credited role as Fletch, and umpteen uncredited roles for when he was in disguise.  All the while, only actually playing one character in the movie.

So you and the others are saying then that Lon Chaney Never had his makeup on for a quick screen appearance of the Wolfman?? or that Bela Lugosi never played Dr. Lajos in the film ?? The screen credits don't say,, but we know its there there . so therefore it is called UNCREDITED ... 


The rules call for uncredited ACTORS, not uncredited roles.  There are quite a few movies I can name where the characters are refered to as something other than their credited role.  Blade is the first that comes to mind.  In the credits his role is 'Blade', but he is often refered to as 'Daywalker'.  Should I create an uncredited entry for that reference?  I am sorry, but your logic is quite flawed here.

I don't get it .. 


Apples and oranges.  The Wizard of Oz 'munchkins' are uncredited actors.  They are not listed anywhere in the credits.  The rules allow for them to be entered.  The rules do not allow for uncredited roles...UNLESS the actor is credited without a role.  That does not apply in this case.

I'm not saying that at all. I'm saying that they are credited one way and that's how they should be listed in DVD Profiler.

The screen credits are definitive. Uncredited actors may be listed. Under your system, we could include "007" as an uncredited role for James Bond? Or "Mom" or "Dad" for any character addressed by a name other than their credited name? Are you really thinking through the ramifications here? 

Quote:

The proper method would be to list the role as credited and leave it at that.

Quote:

Yes.

Having a lot of uncredited actors on one movie has nothing to do with adding additonal uncredited role names for credited actors. Apples and oranges. Red herring.

You've just removed the uncredited entries (good) but changed the credited role names to:

Lon Chaney as Lawrence Talbot /Wolfman Uncredited
Bela Lugosi as Dracula /Dr. Lajos Uncredited

Try again.

So now you've removed all uncredited cast.

How does this have anything to do with the Lon Chaney and Bela Lugosi situation?

You've recontributed again and now your new contribution notes say:
Quote:
Cast as verified by myself on screen end titles credits in cast roll exact.


However, some of your roles are not 'as credited':
Bud Abbott as Chick
Lou Costello as Wilbur
Lon Chaney as Lawrence Talbot /Wolfman
Bela Lugosi as Dracula/Dr. Lajos
Glenn Strange as The Monster
Lenore Aubert as Sandra Mornay
Jane Randolph as Joan Raymond
Frank Ferguson as Mr. McDougal
Charles Bradstreet as Dr. Stevens

Edit: Thanks for adding the uncredited back, but it would be nice if you could tick the uncredited box on a couple of them and clean up the truncated "uncredited" listings:
Bobby Barber as Waiter (uncredited)
George Barton as Man (uncredited)
Harry Brown as Photographer (uncredited)
Joe Kirk as Man at Costume Party in Fez (uncred
Howard Negley as Harris, Insurance Man (uncredited)
Vincent Price as Invisible Man (voice, uncredited)
Carl Sklover as Man at Costume Party (uncredited)
Helen Spring as Woman at Baggage Counter (uncredite
Paul Stader as Sergeant (uncredited)
Clarence Straight as Man in Armor (uncredited)
Joe Walls as Man (uncredited)

New resubmission.

Roles look good.

Now you've added an original title: Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein 

The rules says: The Original Title field will contain the original theatrical title, while the Title field will contain the title of the DVD release.

What proof do you have that the original theatrical title is Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein? The title screen says Bud Abbott Lou Costello Meet Frankenstein.

OK. What you have now is by the rules in my opinion. Now you'll just have to get past 8ballmax.
