No Credits for Ritter or Greenspan?
Not casting any aspersions whatsoever on this transaction, which is legitimate in every way. HOWEVER, as someone who was very close to both Larry Ritter and his "Glory" projects, I find it astonishing that someone would have the gall to put this out with no mention of either Ritter, whose work it is based on entirely, or Bud Greenspan, who produced it. I assume that Doak Ewing of Rare Sportsfilms, which claims the copyright to this DVD, knows his law well enough to feel safe to issue this product, either that or that with the passing of Ritter and Greenspan he figures there is little chance that anyone will care enough to come after him for it. I've long admired Ewing's work in finding and issuing great old films that otherwise would have been lost or ignored and never become available to the public. I met Doak at a national many years ago, we had a long chat, and he seemed like a good guy. And I'm actually thrilled to see Greenspan's wonderful film out on DVD, it's been many years since the VHS version went out of print and obsolete. I just wish credit had been given where it is due.
