Synopsis

When Charley asks a young woman he is in love with to marry him, she informs him that he must first obtain her father's consent. Upon visiting her father, who owns a restaurant, Charley ends up being hired as a dishwasher instead. The rest of the kitchen staff soon discover that Charley is not part of their union and go on strike. Charley is left to work alone, which leads to a series of upheavals in the restaurant and ultimately results in a great invention.

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.
