Synopsis

A financially struggling painter named Michel experiences sudden elation upon learning that he has won one million florins in a Dutch lottery; however, his joy is quickly tempered when he discovers that his compassionate girlfriend, Béatrice, has inadvertently given his jacket—containing the winning ticket—to an elderly petty thief. Consequently, Michel, Béatrice, and Michel’s artistic rival, Prosper, pursue the missing jacket through the streets of Paris.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.
