Synopsis

A part‑time model named Valentine accidentally runs over a retired judge’s dog, leading her to befriend the man. Initially indifferent about the animal, the judge shows no concern, prompting Valentine to keep the dog herself. Their relationship develops when she later visits his home and discovers him eavesdropping on his neighbors’ telephone conversations.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 35

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.
