Synopsis

Billy is a womanizer who meets a woman on the beach and immediately gives her an expensive gift—some pearls. The complications arise because she is interested in the handsome lifeguard, and the collection agents are demanding that Billy either pay for the necklace or return it. Naturally, she does not want to give up the pearls, so Billy decides to break into her house to steal them, along with a few other items.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

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.
