The Committee on Credentials is a 1916 American silent film featuring Harry Carey.

It follows the protagonist Ballrat Bob, who tries to protect an acquaintance and squatter, Clem, from gambling away all of his money.

This makes Clem think that his wife is having an affair; he goes on to shoot up the town and eventually ends up in a confrontation with Bob.

Indeed, I shall always wish to think that it contains just a few faint little echoes of the spirit of that old California that was fast vanishing when I first disturbed the quiet of the Mission Dolores with infantile shrieks—when you first gazed upon the redwood-studded hills of Sonoma County.

"[2] Of the silent films in the early 20th century, Peter French says calls it a dramatic tale of "personal crimes, moral tales, and the place of crime in public life".
