Le grand fanfaron
Synopsis
Lieutenant Gilles Castelet would have liked to marry like anybody else. But he has always been under the sexual spell of Colonel Popoti's wife. Once returned to civilian life he tries desperately to escape her, all the more as she is now widowed and she shamelessly chases him away. One day, Gilles meets Charlie, a former army buddy. His friend, sorry about what happens to him, undertakes to rid him of the possession he is under.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 21
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.
