Synopsis

Old sailor Chris Christofferson is eagerly awaiting the arrival of his grown daughter Anna, who was sent to live with relatives in Minnesota at the age of five. He has not seen her since and believes her to be a decent and respectably employed young woman. When Anna arrives, however, it is clear that she has endured a difficult life among the lower strata of society, and much of her spirit has been lost. She falls in love with a young sailor rescued at sea by her father, but hesitates to reveal the truth of her past to him. Both father and young man hold mistaken views about her background, yet Anna struggles with whether to let them remain in their delusion.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

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.
