Liebe und Tod auf Java
Synopsis
Hans and Fridel are a married couple who flee to Java to escape Nazi persecution just before the outbreak of the Second World War. In this tropical paradise, Hans finds work as a municipal police officer, while his wife, constantly dissatisfied, becomes addicted to opium. One day, Hans meets Helen, the daughter of an influential businessman, and falls for her almost instantly. However, Fridel remains his primary concern, and he cannot leave her, even though he cannot forget Helen either.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 18
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.
