Jacques Tati as one of his great comic characters - François, the postman - a forerunner of M. Hulot. The carnival visits town and the village postman watches a film about the American postal service. Egged on by visitors and villagers, he decides to speed up his round. Outstanding slapstick comedy with excellent scenic detail. Tati is wonderful. French dialogue with English subtitles.

Rating: ****
