Synopsis

Pathé film number 380 was released in the United States as *What Happened to the Inquisitive Janitor* and in the United Kingdom as *Peeping Tom*. The title *What is Seen Through a Keyhole* was assigned later and is not considered the film's original title. The story follows a janitor as he cleans a hotel and begins to peek through keyholes to observe guests in their rooms. In room 8, a woman is preparing to enhance her appearance, and the janitor watches her. Other intriguing events are also taking place in the other rooms on the same floor.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

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.
