Synopsis

Peter Lorre achieved international fame for his performance in the title role of *M*. This character has held a peculiar fascination for generations of cinephiles. However, at the time, while such success brought recognition, it also weighed on the Hungarian actor as a constrictive burden. Using photographs and film extracts, *Das doppelte Gesicht* reconstructs the ups and downs of Lorre's career, taking into consideration the economic imperatives and workings of the film industry at the time. (Arnold Hohmann, 1984)

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 5

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.
