Synopsis

Vivi Cassel, the widow of a professor, has three daughters: the attractive Irma and Paula, and the unattractive but intelligent and sharp-tongued Elsa, who is constantly humiliated by the condescending attitudes of her sisters and their mother. Determined to prove that being a woman is easier than being a person, Elsa visits a beauty salon. There, she not only makes her sisters' suitors fall in love with her but also captures the attention of her mother's fiancé.

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.
