Synopsis

The film follows Max, who is on holiday in Switzerland when he meets two young American girls. The two are friends, one is blonde and the other is brunette. Max falls in love with both and decides to confess his feelings first to the brunette and then to the blonde. When the girls realize the game Max is playing, they decide to play along. The story unfolds as a delicate comedy among the three characters, set entirely outdoors, likely around Lake Leman. It features strong direction and beautiful imagery. The two unknown actresses are also very charming. The film is considered one of Max Linder's best works.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

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.
