This charming and hilarious short was originally due to be helmed by Rene Clement but when he fell ill Tati took over and created the character of Francois the postman in a film that he expanded for his feature debut two years later in Jour de Fete. In the short format, Tati proves himself to be the equal of Hollywood funnymen like Chaplin, Keaton and Lloyd with a brilliant and inspired succession of rapid fire gags.
