Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle
“New York in the 1920's. The only place to be was the Algonquin, and the only person to know was Dorothy Parker.”
Synopsis
Dorothy Parker recalls the prominence of the Algonquin Round Table, a group of acquaintances whose sharp humor, similar to hers, was sustained by alcohol and touched on despair.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 18
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.
