Synopsis

At Flunk Well College, the Dean and Board are in conflict with the football coach, Bergen, over the team's star player, Charlie McCarthy, whose performance is the primary reason the team remains successful. However, Charlie is struggling academically, and there is a risk he will be removed from the team unless his grades and behavior improve. In essence, Charlie is failing in more ways than one. In addition to other issues Coach Bergen has with Charlie, including those involving the coach's girlfriend, Joan, Bergen must also help Charlie prepare for an exam set by the Dean. Rather than resorting to his usual cheating methods, Charlie takes a different approach to handling the exam.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 10

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.
