Synopsis

A British short comedy, the film centers on two married couples whose romantic entanglements lead to farcical complications. Initially directed by Hugh Croise, who fell ill during production, the film was completed by Alfred Hitchcock and Seymour Hicks. Released in 1923, it served as a remake of the 1914 version directed by Leedham Bantock. Only one of the film's two reels is known to have survived.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 7

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.
