----------------------------Original message---------------------------- I don't know if this is what you' re thinking of, but a number of films from the 1930s and 1940s relate their opening credits to the film's narrative in some way, eg: MY MAN GODFREY--Cast and crew names appear in city lights above skyscrapers DINNER AT EIGHT--Credits appear as invitation cards IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE--Credits on Christmas cards Then, there are credits that appear over action--eg., STAGECOACH, where we see the credits over shots of a stagecoach, Indians, and a cavalry unit--all forecasting later events of the movies (the music goes along with that). There are probably many others I'm not thinking of just now. --Don Larsson, Mankato State U., MN
