Synopsis

It is notable to see Sennett playing a different character than his usual hillbilly lover. Sennett appears quite dashing as the big game hunter, yet he is comically cowardly when the real big game appears. Mabel remains calm and natural with the bear, appearing almost like a goddess or otherworldly figure, as if she is handling the scene with a cat or dog.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 10

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.
