Synopsis

Set during the French Revolution, a prosperous couple manages to remain secure by outwardly supporting republican ideals. When a mob assaults a nearby chateau, an aristocrat flees to the couple's home. They save his life by dressing him as a servant, but he soon makes unwanted advances toward the wife. Upon hearing their struggle, the husband intervenes, removes the aristocrat's disguise, and pushes him outside, where he is killed by the mob.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

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.
