An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked French One-Panel Movie Poster (measures approximately 47" x 63") (Learn More) Jour de Fete (released in English-speaking countries as "The Big Day"), the classic 1948 Jacques Tati French postman mail comedy ("Rollicking fun for everyone"; "Delicious French burlesque"; about the postman in a small French town, who delivers mail on a bicycle, and is mocked by the residents, but everything changes when he watches an American movie about improvements in the U.S. Postal Service, and he tries to implement some of those improvements in his town, with very mixed results) starring Jacques Tati, Guy Decomble, Paul Frankeur, Santa Relli, Maine Vallee, Roger Rafal, Jacques Beauvais, and Delcassan. Note that director/star Jacques Tati had been a comic and pantomimist in French theaters in the 1930s, and during France's occupation in World War II, he lived in a small French town where he got the idea to make a short film about the postman in that town, and it never was finalized, but after the war, he revived the idea and turned it into this, his first feature film! Since that time, he has only made a handful of additional films, but everyone agrees he is a comic genius! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
