The Sea Wolves
“The Last Charge of the Calcutta Light Horse”
Synopsis
A German spy is leaking information about the location of Allied ships in the neutral harbor of Goa, India, leading to disastrous consequences. Unable to conduct a full military operation in the Portuguese stronghold, English intelligence recruits a group of retired, elderly ex-soldiers—veterans of World War I—using their age as a cover. These older soldiers are tasked with going to sea and carrying out an improbable undercover mission.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 19
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.

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.0× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
