Synopsis

The Rascals operate a boxing arena that could attract a crowd if they could find fighters willing to engage in a real match. Harry and Farina observe a rivalry between two large young boys, Joe and Chubby, who could fill the role if only they were willing to set aside their naturally gentle dispositions. Farina devises a plan: he convinces each boy that the other will quit in the second round. The fight begins and the stands are filled, but will the boys actually throw punches? Ernie has one more trick to get the action going and the crowd excited. It's a case of sweet science indeed.

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.
