Synopsis

A 1968 British musical short film (30 mins) starring Judy Huxtable and Anthony May, directed by Douglas Hickox. The film follows a young man (May) cycling around the Hampstead (NW3) area of London on a Raleigh RSW16. After crashing into a billboard, he falls in love with a fashion model (Huxtable) depicted on it. Despite the title, the Belsize Park area does not actually feature. The film contains almost no spoken dialogue, with the soundtrack being musical virtually throughout. The title song has been a hit for Mireille Mathieu and Engelbert Humperdinck, reaching top ten in the UK and top 40 in the USA. The title is derivative of the French film *Les Parapluies de Cherbourg*; apart from a musical theme, there is no other obvious link.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

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.
