Widow of St. Pierre
Synopsis
In 1850, an isolated French island named Saint-Pierre is rocked by a murder that shocks the local population. Two fishermen are arrested in connection with the crime. One of them, Louis Ollivier, dies while in custody. The other, Neel Auguste, is sentenced to death by guillotine. Due to the island's small size, it lacks both a guillotine and an executioner. While these are being arranged, Auguste is placed under the supervision of an army captain.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 19
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.
