Synopsis

Mrs. Thurston, a socially ambitious widow, is hosting one of her well-known Bohemian-style gatherings. These events typically feature prominent figures from various artistic and professional fields, including actors, artists, and musicians. Initially entertained by the company, Mrs. Thurston soon finds the atmosphere dull and unstimulating. On this particular evening, she is especially overcome by boredom until Raymond Hartley, a wealthy young bachelor, is introduced to the group by a newspaperman. A romantic connection quickly develops between the widow and Raymond.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
