Synopsis

This silent French film opens with Georges, a man burdened by unhappiness, as his aspirations to become a great musician are overshadowed by the need to support himself by giving music lessons. In search of guidance, he writes to a friend for advice. The friend attempts to transform Georges into a more carefree and charming figure, encouraging him to adopt a more playful lifestyle. However, when Georges tries to apply this new persona to win the favor of a wealthy American woman, the results are less than successful.

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.
