Just as I had expected, The Natural proved to be an enjoyable, if somewhat
cliched, movie.  One question though:  Darren McGavin's name did not appear
in the beginning or end credits.  Why this oversight?  Did McGavin object in
some way to his name being put on this movie?

One reason that I read for Darrin McGavin not being credited for his
work in "The Natural" is that it was expected that he would receive
more attention for his performance if it was unbilled.  I don't know if the
story is true, but it is probably true that he received more attention
than he would have if he got credit.
