Synopsis

Three eccentric individuals—a lawyer, a cab driver, and a handyman—band together to manage a ballet company in order to fulfill the terms of a millionaire's will. As they attempt to navigate the challenges of running the company, their clumsy antics escalate, particularly as they try to outmaneuver a wealthy widow and her ambitious, scheming lawyer, who also has designs on controlling the ballet.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 22

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.
