  when Mr. Hulo drops a pitcher and it bounces back up. Then he drops another glass and it shatters…whoop-dee-doo! I don’t have to say more; that sums the whole thing up! The End! Hope you enjoyed it…NOT!

  I simply spent time watchnig this French response to a Chaplin-style but non-silent motion picture.

  Maybe, it was a top at the timing of the making.

  I am sorry that I do not have the same enthusiasm as the other reviewers. I am French and I teach French at the High School level. I will not show this movie to my students as it would bore them to death. If you suffer from insomnia, this is the perfect remedy.

  Having never seen a Tati film in my 40 something years, I was probably expecting too much from this 1950′s French comedy. It certainly has its merits. There are some lovely visual gags, which are very clever and funny as well, together with a set of characters who develop with the film.

  I found that at 83mins it dragged a bit and whilst the jazzy music theme was great the first time I heard it, after the theme had been repeated about a dozen times it began to get on my nerves. Tati himself was undoubtably a talented visual comedian, and if he had been working 30 years earlier, before the introduction of sound would probably have been a bigger star. If I had seen this film when I was very young I’m sure that it would have made a lasting impression on me (like Laurel & Hardy) and I would have rated it much higher.

  As it is, I probably need to see it again to fully appreciate it. Then it may get four stars.
