Synopsis

Lizzie Curry is close to remaining unmarried, despite her wit, intelligence and homemaking abilities, which she cannot use to overcome her plain appearance. She secretly desires the town sheriff, File, who does not pursue a relationship with her. When a drought strikes the town, Bill Starbuck arrives; he works as a rainmaker and becomes involved in the lives of Lizzie, her brothers and their father.

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.
