Synopsis

Schultz is a man who raises prize-winning chickens and roosters, which frequently wander into the garden of his neighbor, Max Davidson, and eat his seeds, causing ongoing disputes between the two. When their children announce their engagement, the men agree to reconcile and set aside their differences. Davidson suggests a dinner at his home to mark the occasion and gives his young son, Ignatz, two dollars to buy a chicken for the meal. Ignatz, however, pockets the money and instead kills one of Schultz's prized roosters. As the dinner begins, everyone at the table except Schultz realizes what they are eating and tries desperately to conceal the truth, fearing that if Schultz discovers the rooster is his, he will kill Davidson.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

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.
