Synopsis

The Crocadero nightclub features a storyline involving Porky, who holds a diploma from the Sucker Correspondence School of Music and aspires to be a bandleader, though he is currently broke. He takes a job at the club washing dishes. His boss misinterprets Porky chasing a fly as loafing and fires him. When the actual bandleaders fail to appear, the club owner brings Porky back to impersonate several famous bandleaders.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 7

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.
