Synopsis

Living under the same roof with his newly wed wife and his mother-in-law, a careless Mr. Rough sets the nuptial bedroom on fire, as the residence's cook tries to woo the maid, who only has eyes for the charming delivery boy. As one thing leads to another, Mr. Rough ends up preparing dinner for a pair of duplicitous guests, when, clearly, he should be staying out of the kitchen. Does Mrs. Rough know the visitors' true intentions? But, above all, how will this disastrous dinner party at the Rough house end?

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 10

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.
