Synopsis

A British comedy satirizes Stalin's inner circle as an absolute monarch's court. Amid rampant abuse of power and poisonous distrust, some still manage to maintain faith with the Bolshevist creed until the very end. In front of the firing squad, a stalwart Bolshevik of the first hour exclaims: "Even in the best democracy errors are being made!"

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

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.
