Did You Know?
| Trivia | Jacques Tati borrowed dogs from a local pound for the film and took care of the dogs all through filming. Tati made several shots of them, which he later used to connect scenes. When filming was over, he didn't want to bring the dogs back to the pound, so he placed an advertisement in the newspaper, calling them "movie stars"; all dogs eventually were taken in by respectable families throughout Paris.

| Goofs | Whenever M. Arpel parks his car in his tiny home garage, he always pulls in front-end first; however, whenever he leaves for work in the morning, the car always exits the garage front-end first. (This may be a subtle sight gag on (Jacques Tati)'s part.) See more » |
