The Rooftops
This has genuinely been bothering me for days.
After watching The Rooftops, I noticed that Salima Abada was completely missing from the cast on Letterboxd. I contacted Letterboxd support, who explained that their data comes from TMDb and that I’d need to submit the correction there instead.
So I signed up for TMDb, went through the contribution process, checked the end credits myself, and submitted the missing cast information. Hopefully, once the edit is approved and Letterboxd syncs with TMDb (usually within about 30 hours), she’ll finally receive the credit she deserves.
It’s a tiny contribution in the grand scheme of things, but preserving accurate film credits matters. If even one actor is missing, especially from a film that isn’t widely documented, it’s worth fixing.
I also transcribed the entire credited cast, organized by each rooftop featured in the film. for anybody interested in checking out the credited cast, here it is:
