Synopsis

One of the earliest animated short films, it follows a wanderer who enters a countryside cabaret and asks a waitress for a beer. She returns with a pint, and the wanderer begins to flirt with her. However, the kitchen boy appears, drinks the beer, and disappears. Misinterpreting the situation, the wanderer orders another beer. A traveler then enters and gets into an argument with the wanderer. During the exchange, the kitchen boy reappears, takes a sip of the second beer, and flees. When the traveler leaves, the wanderer finds his glass empty once more. He calls the waitress, expresses his frustration, and departs. The kitchen boy later explains to the waitress what he did with the two beers, and the two laugh at the wanderer’s expense before leaving. The film is considered lost.

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.
