Auction History Result 7b0043 JOUR DE FETE Canadian 1/2sh 1952 Jour de fete, great different art of Jacques Tati! Date Sold 1/5/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1952 Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Canadian Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (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. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: good to very good. Half of the poster has very slightly darkened (see our image) and there are some tears of varying lengths along portions of the blank borders. It is otherwise in generally nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
