Opening Credits Analysis: Scandal Sheet (1952)



This opening title sequence is very different to the one I posted previously as it is a dated, old-fashioned American movie. It starts with the production company and then the names of three big name actors and then the title. However, they move very quickly from name to name, and afterwards, bunch together roles like art director, assistant director and makeup designer on one page. This is a more old-fashioned film and therefore follows the old fashioned way of rolling the credits. 'Jean Louis' is mentioned as designing the 'gowns' which shows she must have been a big fashion designer in those days. The final credits are the producer and director which is a very similar style to what we use nowadays.
