You Know My Name

America's Last Great Lawman Takes On A New Kind Of Outlaw.

Runtime
94 min
TV MovieDramaWestern

Synopsis

In six months, the population of Cromwell, Oklahoma, has grown from 500 to 10,000. The oil boom has brought prosperity to the town, along with a new wave of criminal activity. *You Know My Name* is a fact-based account of Bill Tilghman, a lawman and former partner of Wyatt Earp, who faces a changing era in which outlaws trade in whiskey rather than cattle and are more likely to carry a tommy gun than a six-gun. Sam Elliott portrays Tilghman, whose life takes on a new dimension when he becomes involved in the production of a film about his Old West exploits. The silent film, *The Passing of the Oklahoma Outlaws*, brings widespread attention to his story. However, Tilghman's growing reputation may not be enough to sway a corrupt enforcer (Arliss Howard) who operates under the cover of a badge.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

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.
