Page "Billing (filmmaking)" Paragraph 41

* Ben-Hur is one of the few MGM films in which the director receives very prominent billing in the posters advertising the movie — the posters state " William Wyler's Production of ", although the same credit does not appear in the actual on-screen credits.

A similar example is David Lean, whose Doctor Zhivago and Ryan's Daughter both carry the credit " David Lean's Film of " ( followed by the title ).

Stanley Kubrick received prominent title billing from Dr. Strangelove ( 1964 ) onwards, and from A Clockwork Orange ( 1971 ) he generally received main billing, with the actors only listed in the billing block.

Advertising materials for Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut featured the billing " CRUISE / KIDMAN / KUBRICK.
