Storyline
Plot Summary |
Once a year the fair comes for one day to the little town 'Sainte-Severe-sur-Indre.' All inhabitants are scoffing at François, the postman, what he seems not to recognize. The rising of the flagstaff under his direction nearly leads into a catastrophe - but everybody tells him how important his work is. Sneering up François continues in the evening of the festive day. Made drunk, some 'friends' persuade him to watch a short-movie in a tent. This film is a stunt-show, covered as 'The modern delivery-techniques of the US-post. François takes it serious, not recognizing being teased. Next day, after getting sober in a goods wagon, he reorganizes his own delivery-methods. He has not the equipment, as his ideals in the short-movie have, but using only his bicycle, he makes good, funny progresses.

Did You Know?
Trivia | The movie was originally filmed in Thomson-color, a process that became extinct before prints of the film could be shown, and was previously only available in a black and white version that was filmed as a precaution, in case the color process was not perfect. In 1995 the color copy was restored and released by Tati's daughter Sophie Tatischeff and cinematographer François Ede. See more » |
Goofs | During the scene in the cottage, the live chicken that the woman has been holding suddenly disappears. See more » |

Quotes |
François le facteur:
I guess I lost my head. La commère: You mustn't get so worked up. François le facteur: I wanted to be fast, but the Americans get all the glory. La commère: Oh, the Americans can do as they please, but they can't make the crops grow any faster. Besides, news is rarely good, so let it take its sweet time. See more » |
