Synopsis

Partially lost film. One of the kings of ancient Thebes visits the abode of an astrologer and demands to know his future. The astrologer refuses to reveal what is to come, even under threat of death, but produces a priestess who has the ability to divine the future. The priestess is introduced in a striking manner: a throne is brought forward, followed by a box containing pieces of a statue, which are arranged in order and then suddenly come to life. The king begs the priestess to foretell his fate. She instructs him to look through a telescope toward one side of the room, where a vision appears. (Moving Picture World)

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 1

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.
