Synopsis

Dono, Kasino and Indro (the Warkop Trio) live in a boarding house. Amusement starts when the flat owner, Aunt Sarah, goes on a date. Dono installs a microphone so that the conversation between Aunt Sarah and her date can be heard in every room. As a result, Aunt Sarah starts fighting with the three friends. Then Erna, Aunt Sarah’s niece, arrives for a visit. The three friends compete to attract her heart. One day, the three friends are invited to go with Erna to a nightclub. Inside they meet Aunt Sarah. To avoid conflict, the three friends disguise as women.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 9

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.
