Synopsis

Eddie Boyd, a World War II veteran and family man, becomes disillusioned with his post‑war circumstances. He feels torn between providing for his young family and pursuing an unfulfilled dream of becoming a Hollywood star. Finding a method that appears to satisfy both goals, he begins robbing banks in a Hollywood‑style manner, but the pursuit of his dream leads him into danger and tragedy.

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.
