Synopsis

An "extra" shown in two parts in movie theaters, before and after a feature, consists of part one providing clues to six words in a crossword puzzle and part two revealing the answers. Alongside the visual clues—clips of a party, an Asian country, a European city, table games, winter, and bullfighting—there are montages of street scenes and spinning objects. A simple cartoon character, Mr. Rebus, guides the audience through the clues, and title cards prompt the participation of theatergoers.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

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.
