Potiche
“The trophy is coming off the shelf.”
Synopsis
In 1977, in France, the factory owner Robert Pujol is so shaken by his workers' strike for higher wages that he suffers a heart attack. His compliant wife, Suzanne, whose father established the factory, assumes management responsibilities during Robert's recovery.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 22
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.
