Synopsis

The Stooges are suitors who go on a sit-down strike when their prospective father-in-law refuses to consent to the marriages. The strike earns them public recognition and various gifts, including a lot and a prefabricated house. They succeed in winning the strike and get married, but their wives insist that there will be no honeymoon until the house is built. The Stooges encounter several difficulties with the construction, particularly because Curly has burned the blueprints. Eventually, they complete the house, a bizarre structure that collapses when one of its supports is accidentally moved.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

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.
