How I Play Golf by Bobby Jones No. 11: 'Practice Shots'

Directed by
Runtime
11 min
Documentary

Synopsis

Golf expert Bobby Jones arrives at the golf course to join actors James Cagney, Anthony Bushell, Donald Cook, Evalyn Knapp, and Louise Fazenda in filming a golf instruction movie. Louise Fazenda, however, lacks any knowledge of golf, and her constant commentary interferes with Jones's attempts to practice. As Cagney and Bushell hold her mouth shut, Jones demonstrates his approach to the game. Later, when director George Marshall arrives, Louise is sent away "to practice" by herself while the cast and crew begin shooting the film.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 11

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.
