Looking for Mr. Goodbar
“To her father, Theresa was a dutiful daughter. To the children she taught, Theresa brought warmth and hope. To the men she met in bars, Theresa was easy. All kinds of people loved Theresa. Diane Keaton plays Theresa in Looking for Mr. Goodbar.”
Synopsis
A brief, unhappy relationship with a married man leads a committed schoolteacher into the alcohol- and drug-fueled underworld of singles' bars, where she begins to engage in a pattern of dangerous sexual activity.

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.
