Synopsis

A legless beggar, carrying a sign around his neck that reads "cripple," pushes himself slowly and with great effort along the pavement using a trolley, asking for alms from passers-by. From a distance, a policeman begins to approach. Suspicious, the officer taps the beggar on the shoulder, prompting the beggar to leap up in alarm and flee on his fully functional legs. The policeman stumbles over the trolley before regaining his balance and starting to chase after him.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 1

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.
