Synopsis

*Come Along, Do!* is an 1898 British short silent comedy film, produced and directed by Robert W. Paul. The film had a duration of one minute, but only about forty seconds have survived; the entire second shot is only available as film stills. It features an elderly man at an art gallery who becomes very interested in a nude statue, to the irritation of his wife. The film is of cinematographic significance as the first example of film continuity. According to Michael Brooke of BFI Screenonline, it was "one of the first films to feature more than one shot." In the first shot, an elderly couple is outside an art exhibition having lunch and then follow others through the door into the building. The second shot shows what they do inside.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 1

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.
