Fanfan la Tulipe
Synopsis
Fanfan is a young, handsome peasant who joins the army in order to avoid marriage after a gypsy girl predicts that he will achieve glory and marry the king’s daughter. The gypsy girl is later revealed to be Adeline, the daughter of the recruiting officer. Upon learning of this deception, Fanfan refuses to abandon the dream and decides to pursue the destiny suggested by the false prediction.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 20
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.
