It's a very very common situation: If a newcomer is starring, a famous actor gets top billing because that sells tickets, and the newcomer, who is the actual star, gets second billing. The IP is confusing billing order with starring role.
371:
This is a decidedly odd situation I've never encountered before, and I've worked on a ton of films. Bartholomew got top billing, but the plot revolves around Power's adult character. IMO, that makes Power the "star".

Please see the thread above regarding confusing billing order with starring roles. Playing the protagonist as a child also does not equate to a starring role. Knowledge follows
264:
Power and
Bartholomew played the same character in the film. I have the film on DVD - Bartholomew is billed as the star, while Power is listed as a supporting player. (
559:
That was true when the film was being made, but that does not mean he was the/a star of the film. See the discussion in the thread immediately above this one.

He was by far the most famous member of the cast at the time (the biggest child star in the world after

Um, the poster in the article??? You're assuming Power was the star simply because he became a major star later on. (

Since
Bartholomew had first billing and played the protagonist of the story he was clearly not a supporting actor. (

Even if Tyrone Power is regarded as the star, Freddie
Bartholomew should not be listed as a supporting actor. (

Bartholomew was the star, despite only being in the first half hour. Power was completely unknown. (
