Davey Gordon, a New York City boxer nearing the end of his career, becomes enamored with dancer Gloria Price. Their growing relationship is disrupted by Gloria's abusive boss, Vincent Rapallo, who is also interested in her. Determined to escape, the couple plans to leave town, but before they can do so, Vincent and his gang abduct Gloria. Davey must then search for her through the city's most rundown areas, pursued by an enemy who remains just out of sight.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

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.
