How many films are there where everyone involved in making them are dead?

I would have put this in Random Thoughts but I wanted to bring this up as a discussion.

My wife and my daughter are watching Snow White in the other room (as in the '30s movie) and there's a likelihood that the vast majority of people involved in the production of it are now dead. I wondered how many films there are which are a total legacy now, where nobody who made them is still alive...

Almost every pre WWII era picture I'd guess, except kiddie films from that time.

Most, probably. But it looks like there are several survivors from Gone With The Wind who were adults back in 1939 (among them Olivia de Havilland who is about to turn 99 years old).

I'd guess there's many examples of silent movies like that (including the production crew), it's like looking through a window into an inaccessible world.

Ohh right I think I knew that! Good for her longevity is admirable
