Talk:Adam Had Four Sons

Cast listing in the closing credits does not follow the same billing order as in the opening credits

It may be noted that, in the film's opening credits, eight cast members are listed. Below is a reproduction of the form in which the cast is depicted:

COLUMBIA

COLUMBIA PICTURES CORPORATION                             presents          Ingrid      &    Warner     BERGMAN      BAXTER                              in

THE           ROBERT SHERWOOD        PRODUCTION

Adam Had Four Sons

with SUSAN HAYWARD     FAY WRAY         HELEN WESTLEY             RICHARD DENNING                 JOHNNY DOWNS                      ROBERT SHAW (American actor)

The on-screen closing credits, however, list 17 cast members, with only the first four billed in the same order as in the opening credits. Helen Westley, billed 5th in the opening credits, is lowered to 13th in the closing credits, 6th-billed Richard Denning is moved up to 5th, 7th-billed Johnny Downs is moved up to 6th and 8th-billed Robert Shaw (American actor) is moved up to 7th.
