I think one reason why people do not give much accreditation to sites such as IMDB is that they are incorrect or incomplete. One of my favorite movies (I have it on VHS & DVD) is the 1946 Alan Ladd movie, "O.S.S.". As the name implies, it's a film depicting the recruitment of O.S.S. agents and a few of their adventures during WW II. Part of the final scene is a fight between Ladd and a 'German soldier', culminating in a French boy giving Ladd a dropped Luger to use to save his girlfriend. The Luger figures in the film for maybe 10 minutes, as Ladd rushes around radioing deployments to a circling plane before dashing off for the girlfriend...(He doesn't save her - The Gestapo gets her)...



I used to visit IMDB but I have been frustrated in the last year or two (or three) and no longer visit. The omission of O.S.S. from the Luger 'database' is just another annoyance.

My point here is that sites like IMDB, Wikipedia, even Amazon [reviews] can be inaccurate or incomplete. They are at the mercy of the contributors, who may not care if their contributions are complete or even true.
