Manche hatten Krokodile

Language
DE
Documentary

Synopsis

Decades ago, they were stranded in St. Pauli, fleeing the narrow confines of the petty bourgeoisie in search of work and a different, more unconventional life. They made their way through life as dancers or strippers, landlords or barmaids, sailors or pimps. During the day, they meet in their favorite pubs, the "Hong Kong" or the "Kaffeepause", to reminisce about earlier times.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 7

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.
