| | Posted: | | | |  Does this in the credits constitute an writer's credit or not? I removed Ernest Hemingway's OMB credit regardless of the fact he wrote the story the movie was based on i don't think this is an actual profiler credit Edit: if you can't see the image (as some don't, here's the link... http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film4/blu-ray_reviews_61/the_killers_blu-ray_/title_ff_the_killers_blu-ray_.jpg | | | | Last edited: by paulb_99 |

Well, the screen shows you how he is 'credited'. the opening credits read Ernest Hemingway's The Killers, i don't think that is, or should be for profiler purposes an OMB credit. Apart from this he is not credited anywhere else. |

| | Posted: | | | | For what 's worth: there are many James Bond films (after they ran out of novels) where Ian Fleming's only credit reads "Ian Fleming's James Bond". Not that that's an answer to the question, but those credits seem to be entered quite a lot... | | | | Last edited: by T!M |

Well, either that's correct and i have to amend my contribution, or this is not correct and eventually these have to be removed... |

| | Posted: | | | | We know it's based on an Ernest Hemingway story. His name is in the credits. I would go with common sense on stuff like this even if it bends the rules.  | | | My DVD/Blu-ray Collection

| | Posted: | | | | We bend the rules all the time, otherwise "A Film by" credit wouldn't qualify as Director.
As has been often repeated (but not enough it seems), the rules can and will never cover every possible variation of film credits. | | | | First registered: February 15, 2002 |

"Ernest Hemingway's" doesn't in itself tell us what his contribution was. We may know that he wrote the story. If not, we may guess it means that he wrote it, since both producer and director are credited. But the credit in itself doesn't say it. That said, I still think that this is a case for bending the rule.  | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.
