Synopsis

The king is a juvenile dolt who tries the patience of the shrewish queen. While she waits for him in the throne room, he is outside playing with guns, drilling his soldiers, and dallying with the wife of a new minister. The queen catches him kissing her, the minister's husband realizes something is amiss, and the king tries to proceed with his plans for a night out. The queen, however, manages to keep him confined to the bedroom, and the king, queen, minister, and coquette end up in a game of musical beds. Will his royal highness get his night out?

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.
