Synopsis

A "captured" Japanese newsreel features several satirical segments. Civilian defense is illustrated by an aircraft spotter painting spots on planes and a fire prevention headquarters that has already been destroyed by fire. Kitchen Hints demonstrates the preparation of a sandwich using bread and meat ration cards. Poisonalities in the News contrasts images of Yamamoto walking on stilts and boasting of plans for the White House with the grim reality of the room prepared for him: an electric chair. A submarine, announced to have been launched three weeks ahead of schedule, is still under construction. A plane's new landing gear is humorously depicted as a little man on a tricycle. A minesweeper is shown using a giant broom as its sweeping device.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

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.
