    Which Lawrence of Arabia version from the 40s or 50s (your words) are you referring to?

    If you mean the famous 60s film…. Yes, it has a minute of credits and another 4 or 5 for the overture. Not credits.

    Again, still looking for examples of extended credit sequences. Overtures are basically the same as intermissions. That’s a totally different beast.

    Even if you want to lump them together, we’re still at the “one or two” I mentioned. Huge Hollywood blockbusters. Exceedingly rare.

        Oh boy. I just reread your edited comments. It’s hard to keep up when you edit like that

        But yes, I would still care to hear your 40s and 50s examples. If you have one where overture+credits approaches 10 minutes, I’d be shocked. As we’ve discussed, some examples in the 60s can hit 5 minutes, but that’s about the most I’ve seen
