(A) Credit for Dalton Trumbo

i just saw it on TCM after the overture on the opening credits of “Sparticus.”

The screenwriter is Dalton Trumbo as Mr. Kirk Douglas along with Otto Preminger in “Exodus” gave Mr. Trumbo proper credit after 10 years of an American, still not talked of enough horror called the blacklist.

Once I need not have approached Mr. Douglas for a picture, an autograph or even to praise his fine work over the years.

From a slight distance in a room I cited his bravery and contribution for giving Mr. Trumbo that screen credit on “Sparticus.”

Barely audible, but resounding throughout time, Kirk Douglas said thank you.

I say thank you Mr. Douglas.
