Synopsis

Guy Crouchback joins the war effort during World War II, driven by an idealistic desire to align himself with the forces of good in the fight against evil. However, his efforts are not rewarded, as he is never given the opportunity to participate in any real combat; circumstances consistently prevent him from doing so. Instead, he finds himself in the middle of an army populated by cowards, incompetents, and a few outright evil men. These individuals, in contrast, reap the benefits of war—promotions and fame—while Crouchback remains untouched by such rewards. His war becomes an endless series of transfers and a hopeless yet noble pursuit of righteousness.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 20

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.
