John Arnold DeMarco is a man who believes himself to be Don Juan, the greatest lover in the world. Wearing a cape and mask, DeMarco receives psychiatric treatment from Dr. Jack Mickler, who aims to address what appears to be a delusion. However, the therapy sessions have an unforeseen impact on the staff at the clinic, particularly Dr. Mickler, who begins to rekindle the romance in his otherwise stagnant marriage.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 29

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.

Box Office

1994 · Box office

✅ Made its money back — grossed 2.8× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
