Synopsis

This film originated from the unfinished short film *Puce Women*. The film begins with a camera observing 1920s-style flapper gowns being taken from a dress rack. The dresses are removed and danced off the rack to music. (The original soundtrack featured Verdi opera music; in the 1960s, Anger re-released the film with a new psychedelic folk-rock soundtrack performed by Jonathan Halper.) A long-lashed woman, Yvonne Marquis, dons the purple puce gown and proceeds to her vanity to apply perfume. She lies on a chaise lounge, which then begins to move around the room and eventually out onto a patio. Borzois appear, and she prepares to take them for a walk.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

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.
