This was one of Rowan Atkinson's primary influences for "Mr. Bean", and it's plain to see. Jacques Tati's simple yet subtly finessed physical comedy is pure genius. |

| Overview: | Pipe-smoking Monsieur Hulot, Jacques Tati's endearing clown, takes a holiday at a seaside resort where his presence provokes one catastrophe after another. Tati's wildly funny satire of vacationers determined to enjoy themselves includes a series of precisely choreographed sight gags involving dogs, boats, and firecrackers. The first entry in the Hulot series is a masterpiece of gentle slapstick.
