Synopsis

A group of African-American railway waiters believe they have secured a railroad dining car, which they establish as a diner on Wilshire Blvd. in Los Angeles. To attract customers, they sing, providing much of the musical accompaniment themselves. While performing in front of an audience, the police arrive to deliver the bad news.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 8

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.
