Synopsis

The Lord notices that the stock value of "Pair-o-dice" is declining on the exchange and sends a slow-witted, slow-talking angel to sinful Harlem to recruit new customers. When this effort fails, God achieves success by sending a group of musical angels with a more lively, swinging style, so appealing that even the Devil wants to join them. The film is one of the “Censored 11,” banned from TV syndication by United Artists in 1968 due to racist stereotyping.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 12

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.
