Synopsis

Nanny, a live-in maid for a London family, returns 10-year-old Joey from a psychiatric ward where he has spent the past two years following the death of his younger sister. Joey refuses to eat any food Nanny prepares or take a bath unless she is not in the room, and he insists on sleeping in a room with a lock. His parents, workaholic Bill and neurotic Virgie, believe Joey is disturbed, but he may have legitimate reason to be afraid of Nanny.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

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.
