Welcome Mr. Marshall!
Synopsis
In a small Spanish town called Villar del Río, news of an upcoming visit by American diplomats prompts the local authorities to make preparations aimed at impressing the visitors and potentially securing benefits under the Marshall Plan. In an effort to showcase a form of Spanish culture more familiar to the foreign officials, the Castilian residents adopt Andalusian costumes, hire a well-known flamenco artist, and redecorate the town in an Andalusian style, all while awaiting the uncertain arrival of the diplomats.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 40
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.
