Synopsis

Though the highs and lows of human experience are all present, it is often the quirky set design and fashion elements in these vintage productions that truly stand out—the pot-holder sweater vests, ponytails adorned with yarn, hippies with crumb-catching mustaches, banana-seat bikes, and a hard rain of Quaaludes and amphetamines used to depict the dangers of drug addiction. It is difficult to believe anyone would accept the simplistic cause-and-effect logic of that pill-popper's weather pattern in *Drugs Are Like That*. Co-produced by the Miami Junior League and narrated by Anita Bryant in this upbeat, hand-slapping presentation, a child stealing cookies from a cookie jar is suggested to be on a path toward becoming a Bowery bum and attending LSD parties.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 6

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.
