Synopsis

Harry Doolittle wakes up on the day of his wedding to Betty Bright with a terrible hangover. A strange woman appears in his room, claiming they were married the night before. Moments later, Betty and her mother arrive, leading to a heated confrontation. The situation escalates, resulting in Harry's arrest. He is jailed while awaiting trial before Betty's father, who is a judge. Betty visits him in prison, but Harry escapes and disguises himself as a cabman. The police, along with Betty and her mother, are now searching for him. The question remains: will everything be resolved in time for the wedding to take place?

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

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.
