Synopsis

Geraldine and her two daughters, Livvie and Angeline, are living on the streets of London in a van. When the van breaks down, they are forced to find another place to stay. Initially, they move into temporary housing, but the conditions are difficult to endure. Geraldine acts swiftly, and the family decides to take up residence in Scottley's, the best department store in London. They must keep their presence a secret from Brian, the doorman (referred to by the girls as Mr. Whiskers), as well as from a pair of clumsy thieves who plan to rob the store's safe and steal its jewels.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

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.
