I'll like lo suggest a compromise that will solve the problem both for the producers and lor writers without offending any clients. I agree that it's not a good idea to have a long, boring list of individual credits at the end of an industrial film. And I also agree that the production film should have a separate credit at ihe end in order to establish a valid and continuing company image. But I like the kind of credits that 1 first saw used in productions by "On Film'". A lot of contemporary filmmakers, likj "Q.P.I." use the same title idea today. At the end of the film there is a xinfile professinal credit title which says something like this: "This film was made by the following people:" .•\nd then there is a brief list of Ihe names of the eight or ten principle people who worked on Ihe film. It includes the director, writer, cameraman, designer, art director, editor, sound man, etc. It does not identify their specific function or contribution, but most peopL" in our industrv know what we do. Most important of all. it prevents anvone who is not on the list claiming that he wrote, directed, or edited the picture. It is then followed by the production company's credit which is usually combined with thj end title if there is one. ■•Xnil now that you've had enough time lo think about how yaii would have li.ini.lled the problem of the other panel member claiming my picture, I'll tell you how / handled the problem. While the picture was still running. I wrote a note and handed it to the other writer. It said: "I wrote that picture you crooked S.O.B.I" He read Ihe note calmly, let the picture run to the end, th.-n read the note to the audience, and said. "I've admired that script so often that after I showed the picture half-a-dozen times I convinced myself that I had aciuallv written it myself. I apologize to Stan for having claimed the film, and I apoK>gi/e lo Ihe audience fi>r having deluded them, and myself. Hut I ilon'i apologize to anyone for having screened the film. I'verybody should see it. It's a very gOi>d picture." Well, Readers, the other writer got a big round of applause. In the inimorial words of the greatest con-man ever lo appear on the silver screen W. r. Fields. "You Can't Cheat An Honest Man!"

Some seventeen hours later — agafa in darkness — we deplaned in the city' of antiquities — Athens — another truss in Garuda Indonesian Airways' bridge to the West. It seemed a strange melding of two diverse cultures as we photographed Sylvie in traditional Indonesian costume (called "Sarong Kebaya") against Ihe background of ancient Cireece's Parlhencm and the Temple of, Zeus. It was stranger yet for Svlvie who,^ ■•_ until she had begun her studies wit Ganida Indonesian Airways, hi never be<;n more than a few hund kilometers from home in central Java Amsterdam is the Huropcan hub ot Garuda's international operation and it was here that the final scenes needed to complete the film were acquired, Flight training simulators, maintenance hangars and language laboratories were filmed as well as the scenic canals and the shopping arcades of the city of Amsterdam. Then it was over. The grinding weeks of travel, hard work. joys, disappointments and creativity had culminated in a final "ting' as the last frames of a hundred foot roll of film cleared the camera gate Now there were a few moments foi rest, for talk, for a quiet glass and foi the inevitable tears (not solely con fined to Sylvie) that would be shet as little gifts were exch;uiged on tht evening prior lo our mutual depar lures.
