Synopsis

A cab is hailed in front of a grand mansion by a gentleman who wishes to transport twenty people to another part of the city. A clown emerges and reaches a satisfactory agreement with the gentleman. One by one, approximately twenty individuals are hurried into the cab until the clown manages to cram in all but Bridget, who is holding a child. The determined clown then helps the nurse, who weighs 400 pounds, by taking the child from her. After affectionately handling the child, he places it on top of the cab. He then retrieves a board and uses it effectively on the limbs of the large woman, compelling her into the cab. The vehicle then departs, carrying its full load of passengers.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 3

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.
