Synopsis

This short film documents the preparations for the world premiere of an "important" movie in Hollywood. The film being celebrated is *Marie Antoinette* (1938), which premiered at the Carthay Circle Theatre. The street leading to the theater is transformed to resemble a French palace garden, featuring trees, foliage, and large statues along the route. Grandstands are arranged to allow fans a view of arriving celebrities. As the event begins, a "galaxy of stars" arrives by limousine. Fanny Brice and Pete Smith deliver remarks at a microphone set up on the red carpet outside the theater.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

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.
