Any clue as to how to handle some cast members that are credited only by a narrator during the end credits?

Sine if the cast is credited in the credits, just for some reason a few cast members are just credited by the narrator.

I would definitely include them.

It is arguable whether these should be treated as outside the end credits, thus listed first per rules, or incorporated with the printed credits--and I don't want to argue.

When sound was first introduced to movies, it became fashionable for a while to have spoken (opening) credits even for crew. See for example some of the Laurel and Hardy movies. Spelling may be an issue, but I would (actually have) definitely include them.

I've got forgien language cast & roles from subtitles approved so if there are subs you could probably use them as your source. They should be included somehow.

Definitely should be included. They are credited... just not in the standard way credits are done now a day.

I seem to remember 'The Phil Silvers Show' having a similar problem where the cast list is read out as if on the radio.

So would they be listed after the text based credits, or since they aren't text based credits they would be uncredited?

Where to put them? Not sure. I think I would have to see the credits to decide that.

Shoyuld they be uncredited? No. They are Credited. Just because they are credited in a different matter don't make them any less credited.

I would enter them the way you would enter printed credits.  A credit is a credit.
