Synopsis

Archie Lee Meighan is a struggling cotton gin owner married to Baby Doll, a 19-year-old woman with a youthful, childlike appearance. Her father arranged the marriage for financial gain. As Archie waits for Baby Doll's 20th birthday—the day on which the marriage is expected to be consummated—he faces opposition from his business rival, Silva Vacarro, who attempts to seduce Baby Doll away from him.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.
