Het grootste van het grootste - Abraham Tuschinski

Directed by
Runtime
75 min
Documentary

Synopsis

The greatest of the greatest, that's what Abraham Tuschinski wanted. Not necessarily for himself, but for his audience. From Poland, where he was born in 1886, he ended up in Rotterdam. He opened a cinema there, the first in the city with a chic look. More followed, built in the gaudy, eclectic 'Tuschinski style', with Theater Tuschinski in Amsterdam as the jewel in the crown of the film king of the Netherlands. Director Ger Poppelaars places the life story of the perfectionist showman Tuschinski in his time. He reconstructs the successful total performances in the cinema with acts and orchestra, everything taken care of down to the last detail.

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.
