What's that smell?

Beginning of the end

The end credits to one of the greatest films of all time, 1994's The Shawshank Redemption, start with IN MEMORY OF ALLEN GREENE. Strangely enough, this inspired a question on Quora as to whether Allen Greene was a real person. WTF? Why would the film be dedicated to anyone otherwise? (confused)

The current top answer is from Katherine Powell, who claims to be a copywriter at Famous IT.

screenshot from Quora with Katherine Powell's answer: “Allen Greene was an agent for the director Frank Darabont and a detailed friend of his. He worked on obtaining the rights for the film and died simply before the film was discharged. He was three-time Academy Award-nominated director Frank Darabont’s agent. The Film Shawshank Redemption is devoted to him. The credit for him is at the terrible finish of the picture.”
If this is the work of a copywriter, the copyeditor really has their work cut out for them!

Actually, Katherine, the end of the film was far from terrible, it was bloody marvellous. That said, I hope that Famous IT employs copyeditors who at least have a competent enough grasp of English to overcome their copywriters' deficiencies.
