Synopsis

Oswald wants to see Mlle. Zulu, the Shimmy Queen, but he doesn't have enough money. Noticing that more distinguished-looking men are being allowed in without tickets, he tries to impersonate one by puffing out his chest and striding confidently toward the entrance. The ruse fails, and he is denied entry. Undeterred, he attempts a second strategy, sneaking in by hiding under the shadow of another patron. He is discovered, and the rest of the evening is spent being chased through the theater by the bouncer.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

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.
