Synopsis

The Borgia Pearl, a valuable gem with a history of bringing murder and misfortune to its owner since the time of the Borgias, is brought to London, in part due to the efforts of Sherlock Holmes. However, the jewel is soon stolen as a result of an error on Holmes' part. Shortly afterward, a series of brutal murders begins, with the victims found with their spines snapped and surrounded by a mass of smashed china.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.
