Love Potion No. 9
A lovelorn chemist drinks a mysterious love potion hoping to win romance, only to find himself irresistibly charming everyone for four hours and forced to confront the chaotic consequences while discovering his true attraction may lie with his skeptical coworker.
“Imagine if sex appeal came in a bottle.”
Synopsis
Paul Matthews, a chemist who is unlucky in love, visits the gypsy Madame Rosa for assistance. Recognizing his nerdy nature, she gives him Love Potion No. 8, a formula that makes whoever wears it irresistible to the opposite sex for four hours. Paul and his coworker, animal psychologist Diane Farrow, decide to test the potion on themselves. The awkward duo soon discover that they become appealing to everyone they encounter, but they also begin to realize they are most drawn to each other.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 16
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.
