What About Dick?

Written by

Synopsis

The film opens with the invention of a sex toy in Shagistan in 1898 by Deepak Rushdie Obi Ben Kingsley and follows the subsequent decline of the British Empire as viewed through the perspective of a piano. The piano narrates the story of Dick, his two cousins—Emma, an emotionally stunted English girl, and her kleptomaniac sister Helena—as well as their dipsomaniac Aunt Maggie, who all reside together in a sprawling, Edwardian-style house. When the Reverend Whoopsie discovers a piano on a beach, a plot is set in motion that can only be resolved by private investigator Dick, aided by the enigmatic Scottish detective Inspector McGuffin and Sergeant Ken Russell, who ultimately uncover the identity of the Houndsditch Mutilator.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

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.
