Synopsis

Frank has checked into a cheap hotel with the intention of using his pistol to commit suicide there. However, just as he is putting the pistol to his head, a lengthy earthquake begins, and makes it impossible for him to aim as he had intended to. The earthquake also causes him to meet a prostitute who has been working in the next room, and they become acquainted. On more than one occasion as they talk, he has reason to repeat his request: Don't Call Me Frankie.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.
