Wissenswertes
Jacques Tati recounted later in life that he had been heavily criticized for perceived weak dialogue when this film came out. Tati claimed that his intention was to make the dialogue as realistic as possible (thus, simple or boring) to capture the banality of real vacationers.

Patzer
When Hulot first enters the hotel and closes the door behind himself, his cap is on his head when he bends to pick up his suitcase; when he straightens, the cap is in his hand with the suitcase.

Zitate
Opening Titles: Mr. Hulot is off for a week by the sea. Take a seat behind his camera, and you can spend it with him. Don't look for a plot, for a holiday is meant purely for fun, and if you look for it, you will find more fun in ordinary life than in fiction.

Crazy Credits
Prologue to restored film (part1/2): "Mr. Hulot's Holiday, Jacques Tati's second feature film, was released in Paris on February 27th, 1953. On that day, Mr. Hulot was born. First in 1962, and later on in 1978, Tati worked on his film again. He re-edited it, cut some shots out, lengthened a few others, re-orchestrated the score and remixed the sound. Thus, over a period of 25 years, he continued to create the world of his main character. The film was released around the world. The original elements were damaged and weakened by the repeated re-editing process, as well as by numerous changes performed by the director."

Alternative Versionen
Original French version is ca. 18 minutes longer than the US version.

Subtle Charm of the Bourgeoisie

It's not surprising that most folks either love the movie or hate it. In fact, few films are more unlike today's comedy style than this one. It's neither manic, nor in-your-face, nor aimed at the belly-laugh. Instead, it's leisurely paced, subtly structured, and aimed at the mild chuckle, while the closest the set-ups come to the scatological are boys ogling the lovely Martine. So, all in all, don't expect to see its like at the neighborhood Cineplex anytime soon.

Tati's unusual brand of humor comes from observing life's minutiae—simple things, such as swinging doors, balky cars, and exaggerated social graces. In short, he manages to remark on the unremarkable in an amusing way. Of course, this kind of ground-level humor is not everyone's cup of tea. For me, not all the set-ups work; at the same time, the humor tends to wear thin over the 90 minutes. Still, there's a subtle charm working its way through that's quite compelling and unlike anything else I've seen. Perhaps the reviewer who finds an underlying innocence puts his/her finger on the secret of the appeal. And when the camera lingers at the end on the now deserted beach, there's a sense of some kind of wistful loss. But I've never been able to figure out exactly of what.
