Synopsis

A subtitle warns, "beware of dark sunglasses." Anna and her lover, whose appearance in a bowler hat and bow tie recalls a young Buster Keaton, share a chaste kiss on a bridge overlooking the Seine. He puts on sunglasses and waves as she runs down a stairway to the river's edge. He then watches in horror as she is knocked down and placed into the back of a hearse. He chases after it in vain. In a state of grief, he buys a large funeral wreath and a handkerchief from sympathetic vendors. He takes off the glasses to wipe his eyes and realizes they are the cause of all his misfortune. He replays the farewell without the glasses.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.
