Synopsis

John P. Merrick, described as the wealthiest man in the world and a private individual who prefers anonymity, owns Neeley's Department Store among his assets. Labor unrest arises at the store, with employees directing their anger toward Merrick; they hang an effigy of him outside the premises despite not knowing his appearance. Dissatisfied with the situation, Merrick decides to confront the agitators by going undercover as a sales clerk in the shoe department.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

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.
