When a film is restored, there are credits for the people involved. Do those replace the original film credits? Or any suggestions on how to find answer, my ideas yield nothing.
As an aside, last night after SPARTACUS, Ben answered my question why Anthony Hopkins was given a thank-you in the restoration credits-he did Olivier's voice during the bath scene. The film was found but the soundtrack lost.

The film was found but the soundtrack lost. The original film credits are not replaced. What I have seen is an addition, before the original start of the film, which indicates that the film was restored. Noir Alley had a few of these, E.g., Woman on the Run, which was restored and preserved by the UCLA Film & Television Archive. |

I saw those opening credits on Noir Alley too. But at the end of SPARTACUS the credits were the long list of director, sound recording etc for the restoration. Then came the placard for EXIT MUSIC from the film. Many older films ended with THE END and no credits and I can't remember from decades ago if SPARATCUS had end credits. I became curious about this question because I wondered if the restoration credits replaced the original ones or maybe placed before the "exit music" of the original film to increase chance of them being read.

I can't speak for Spartacus. It's been too long since I've seen it. I vaguely recall, I think, the thank-you to Anthony Hopkins, although I may have i magined that being somewhat familiar with the story. I am the type who sits through credits (the poor teenagers tasked with sweeping up the aisles always have to stand just outside the door with their brooms and buckets and wait for me to get up and exit). TCM does show other films with restored versions, and my experience from multiple viewings of Vertigo and Lawrence of Arabia and others is that in these versions the entire original closing credts run, followed by restoration credits. I'm unaware of any incident where the original credits were jettisoned altogether.

The cutdown version seemed longer than 6 hours.
I have another question. Judy Garland's A STAR IS BORN and LOST HORIZONS uses stills to fill in the lost scenes of these films. If there is a complete soundtrack, but not a complete negative, then the soundtrack was stored separately? The negative saved didn't include the soundtrack? Okay, that was two questions.
