The Carnation Kid

When you see and hear this snappy, peppy comedy romance, you'll vote it our greatest since "The Wolf of Wall Street". It's 75 per cent talking- and a regular knockout.

Synopsis

It's a case of mistaken identity in this comedy that centers around a country bumpkin mistaken for a Chicago hitman.

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.
