The Blonde Baboon

Crime

Synopsis

Elaine Troost, a wealthy gallery owner from Hamburg, is found dead in her bathtub on a stormy autumn night by her daughter Gabrielle. An autopsy later determines that her death was the result of violence. Shortly after, a witness reports having seen the art forger Jan Vleuten outside Troost's house on the night of the murder. Vleuten is known by the nickname "the blonde monkey," a reference to his unusual affinity for primates and his distinctive light blonde hair.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 21

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.
