Synopsis

Raymonde Chandebise suspects her husband, Victor-Emmanuel, of being unfaithful. She receives a package from the hotel "Le Minet Galant," which contains a pair of his suspenders. Her best friend, Lucienne, suggests she confirm her suspicions using a clever ruse. Together, they compose a fake, passionate letter from a mysterious woman and send it to Victor-Emmanuel, inviting him to meet at the "Minet Galant." Unbeknownst to them, the hotel's bellboy, a simpleton, bears a striking resemblance to Victor-Emmanuel.

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.
