Synopsis

A wealthy man who claims to have no memory of his past hires an ex-convict to conduct some unusual detective work. Gregory Arkadin asserts he cannot recall anything prior to the late 1920s, and Guy Van Stratten, a former criminal, agrees to investigate his employer's history. As Guy uncovers shocking revelations about Arkadin's past, he begins to suspect a connection between his findings and a series of suspicious deaths, further deepening the mystery surrounding Mr. Arkadin.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

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.
