Synopsis

*Pull My Daisy* is a film inspired by an incident in the life of Beat icon Neal Cassady and his wife, the painter Carolyn. It tells the story of a railway brakeman whose wife invites a respected bishop for dinner, only for the brakeman's Bohemian friends to crash the party, leading to comic results. The film typifies the Beat Generation and was directed by Robert Frank and Alfred Leslie. It was adapted by Jack Kerouac from the third act of his play *Beat Generation*, with Kerouac also providing improvised narration.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

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.
