Synopsis

A barmaid, a Mexican officer, and a terrible toreador become entangled in a love triangle, interacting through dancing, skipping, kissing, punching, and slapping to the music of Bizet's "Carmen." Later, the barmaid supports her lover while the officer mocks him during a major bullfight. The toreador and the bull engage in comedic antics, though they remain portrayed as formidable adversaries heading toward a violent conclusion.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 3

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.
