Please note that the screen credits have been changed from what they were originally. This case was discussed here:

They are not incorrect. They recognize the very complicated history of these credits and the restoration of the correct credits while recognizing these weren't the "original" credits.

@adrian You & I both know that when it comes to blacklisted writers, "original" credits are not "actual" credits.

If WGA can correct themselves, why not IMDb??? (who uses WGA as a source)

Hi @maninasuit -

It has been our longstanding policy to list credits based on what was shown on-screen on the original release of the title. For older titles, specifically where writers were blacklisted and later warranted an on-screen credit, our policy is to list those credits with the attribute "(originally uncredited)".
