Synopsis

Dr. Archie Bollen is experiencing a midlife crisis after recently divorcing his wife and beginning to rebuild his life. One evening, he meets Petulia Danner, a lively and charismatic young woman whose joyful demeanor masks her fear of her abusive husband, David, whose father holds significant influence in high society. As Petulia and Archie grow closer and their relationship deepens, they are forced to confront and clarify what they truly desire from life and from each other.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 20

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.
