Synopsis

Roy Whitman believes there is a shortage of good, honest women in the West and proposes to transport more than 100 mail‑order brides from Chicago to California. He hires Buck Wyatt, described as hardened and cynical, to guide the group across the frontier. The journey proves long, difficult and dangerous for the women, and when disaster occurs on the trail, Buck comes to realize that the women possess greater strength than he anticipated.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

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.
