Synopsis

This image shows the eruption of the volcano that resulted in the deaths of over 30,000 people. The multiple explosions occurring during the eruption are clearly visible. Thousands of tons of molten lava, sand, rocks, and steam are seen being thrown high into the air before crashing down on the residents of the doomed city of St. Pierre. This event is considered one of the worst calamities since the similar eruption of Mount Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii. (Lubin Catalog)

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 1

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.
