IMDb ignores evidence for uncredited cameo appearance addition
What's the matter with IMDb? It seems to be asleep at the wheel. Anne Bancroft (Mrs. Mel Brooks) does an uncredited appearance in Blazing Saddles. That's a fact (it's hardly a secret). I attempted to add her to the cast list and provided plenty of evidence including a freeze frame of the scene and I get that stupid error message, "can't verify." I'd ask her to write and and tell IMDb herself, but she's dead. IMDb accepted over 30 uncredited performers for Saddles yet the most interesting one gets the raspberry. Is anyone even there to read the explanation sent in? I'm beginning to think a machine just spits out these can't verify messages automatically just so actual people don't have to break a sweat. Anyone have any ideas?

Did you include a time code where she appears?

Hello don_wood_5537932,
Can you help us providing the 18-digits submission reference number? in order for our staff to take a look.
You can find the submission number on the Contribution History page.

She has been listed before, as recently as April this year, so IMDb should have a record of why she was removed.
The AFI says: "Although modern sources report that Anne Bancroft made a brief appearance in Blazing Saddles, she was not discernable in the print viewed."
Perhaps you could post the evidence here to let others judge.

I have also the film somewhere. It would be nice to see some screenshots.
