Synopsis

A contemporary comedy-drama set against the background of rich southern elegance and the permissive swinging singles society of today. A successful young stockbroker, whose business is financed by his father-in-law, is frustrated by his wife's coldness. When an old friend from college, who teaches tennis to attractive young women and bored housewives, suggests that the stockbroker seek solace outside his marriage, the stockbroker begins an affair with his secretary. Meanwhile, the stockbroker's wife has an affair with her husband's old college friend.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 5

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.
