Synopsis

*The Waif and the Wizard* features the same young man who appeared in *Undressing Extraordinary* (and who might be early filmmaker Walter Booth). It is another early example of a two-shot film along the lines of Paul's earlier film *Come Along Do!*. The young man plays a magician who, after completing his act, agrees to go home with the young boy from the audience who helped him perform his tricks. At the boy's home, he finds a sick sister and a worried mother being threatened with eviction by her landlord.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

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.
