The Greater Will
Synopsis
Years ago Peggy Sloane, only daughter of old Cornelius Sloane, familiarly known as the Professor, an antique dealer, met millionaire art dealer Stuart Watson and was prevailed by his hypnotic power to go through a marriage ceremony with him. A week passed and she returned, broken in spirit and body. Later, when her baby was born, she died. One night, while playing chess, old Sloane learns of the return to America of this man Watson and resolves to be revenged.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 11
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.
