Synopsis

Bronson and Marvin play murderous half-brothers who are fleeing both the law and each other. A climactic confrontation reveals just how ruthless each one can be. "The Meanest Men in the West" is an adaptation combining two episodes of the popular 1960s TV series "The Virginian." In one episode, a wealthy man's daughter is kidnapped by a ruthless gunslinger, but the act is merely a setup to lure the tough title character into a vengeful blood feud. In the second, a drifter robs the Shiloh ranch, and later, a disturbed young woman enlists his help in escaping from home.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 21

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.
