Synopsis

Movie star Roxy Carmichael is leaving the bright lights of Hollywood, Calif., to return to her small hometown of Clyde, Ohio, for the dedication of a city building. Her return stirs mixed emotions in the town, particularly among her now-married former lover, Denton Webb, and Dinky Bossetti, a troubled teenager. An orphan with few friends, Dinky believes Carmichael is her birth mother and that the actress will take her back when she arrives.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 20

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.

Box Office

1990 · Box office

📉 Underperformed — grossed 0.3× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
