The Sucker
“The funniest fraud a fall-guy ever fell for!”
Synopsis
In this Franco-Italian gangster parody, a shopkeeper en route to an Italian holiday is involved in a crash that totals his car. The person responsible can only make amends by driving an American friend's car from Naples to Bordeaux. However, as the vehicle happens to be loaded with contraband such as stolen money, jewelry, and drugs, the two unwilling and unwitting participants in the crime soon draw serious attention from the criminal underworld.

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.
