Synopsis

Max is forced to choose between losing his newlywed wife and a fortune. He devises a clever plan: he will give his wife grounds for divorce, secure the money, and then reconcile with her to remarry. He goes to great lengths to help her gather the necessary evidence, only to discover that it was all a mistake made by an incompetent lawyer—the money and the wife are both still his.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 8

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.
