The Earrings of Madame de...
“It was her vanity that destroyed her.”
Synopsis
In late‑19th‑century France, Countess Louise, married to a wealthy general, sells the earrings he gave her on their wedding day in order to settle secret debts and then claims she has lost them. Her husband soon discovers the deception, initiating a series of tragic misunderstandings that involve the earrings, the general, the countess and her new lover, Italian Baron Donati.

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.
