Synopsis

In Capellani's film, based on Zola's novel, Everyman Coupeau's repeated efforts to quit drinking are consistently undermined by the cruel and vengeful Virginie. The film portrays the downward spiral of a group of working-class French individuals into degradation and tragedy, driven by carelessness, jealousy, and alcohol abuse. Upon its release, *L'Assommoir* was a major success.

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.
