I hope that in the CD at least the composer of the closing song is correctly credited! The song “Sta Pervolia” was composed in 1960-61 by the legendary Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis, and recorded in 1962 as part of the Song for a Dead Brother cycle (album), sung by Grigoris Bithikotsis. Theodorakis may have placed his work online for the enjoyment of all the world but that does not give anyone the right to refuse him the credit due to him as it’s creator! Yet his name was not mentioned in the end credits nor on IMDB or anywhere else. How shameful.
