Today's movies seem to have many hundreds of people credited in the production of the movie. When I watch a classic it seems there are only a few dozen credited. I understand that today's productions are much more complex but did the classics simply not list the people involved except for the principals or did it really take so few people to make a movie then? I've looked at the credits for "Gone with the Wind" and can find less than 60 people in the production, not counting actors. I wonder how long the list would be if it were filmed today?
