Note: Lacking a conventional music soundtrack, so composer Bernard Herrmann (1911-1975) is credited as “sound consultant.” As he pre-deceased Hitchcock et al., this would not change the above terms.

Note: Willis Hall (1929-2005) and Keith Waterhouse (1929-2009) worked on the script dialogue, but Writers Guild arbitration ruled that Moore should receive sole credit. If recognised as a factor in copyright duration, it would add ten years to the above terms.
