Synopsis

Two business partners become romantically involved with the same woman. She ultimately accepts the proposal of the more impulsive and irresponsible partner, a decision she later regrets. He spends lavishly on gambling and gradually loses interest in her. After losing company funds in a card game, he decides to take his own life. From his office, he calls his wife while holding a revolver to his head. She tries to keep him on the line as the more dependable business partner rushes to the office in a desperate attempt to save his friend. The question remains: will he arrive in time?

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

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.
