Synopsis

Sir Claude Amery, the inventor, seeks to give the thief of the formula for his latest invention an opportunity to return it in the dark without being recognized. He gathers everyone in the house in the library and has the lights turned off for a brief period. When the lights come back on, Amery is found dead. The case falls to the Belgian master detective Hercule Poirot.

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.

Craft leads on file
