Synopsis

Don Baker, blind but determined to live independently, leaves his overprotective mother to start a new life in San Francisco. Settling into his new residence, he meets the eccentric neighbor Jill Tanner. Don's charm and wit win over the free-spirited Jill, and their friendship soon deepens into something more. As their relationship blossoms, the question remains: will Mrs. Baker's constant interference threaten to tear them apart?

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 19

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.
