Synopsis

Set in working-class Newcastle, the Stott family contends with personal struggles amid the backdrop of World War II. Helen Stott, over thirty and with a limp, faces the prospect of remaining unmarried until she meets and falls in love with Norman, a serviceman from London. Her younger sister Joyce, meanwhile, has a knack for attracting attention from men, particularly the troops, and finds herself especially popular when her husband returns on leave from his regiment.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

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.
