Synopsis

A montage composed of quick, fragmented movements features two women, two men, and a gray cat. One woman is seen in a bedroom, another wearing an apron, both engaged in manual tasks and occasionally glancing up. A man enters a room, greeted by a smiling woman. He sits down, joined by another man who smokes. The cat stretches, and close-ups are taken of each subject. The lighting is dim, with a red filter used to emphasize the visuals. A bare foot is shown on a satin sheet, followed by a woman undressing and petting the cat. The film was preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2006.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

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.
