Monsieur Hulot's Holiday
Well-meaning yet bumbling Monsieur Hulot sets out for a tranquil seaside getaway, only to unwittingly unleash a cascade of comedic catastrophes that turn the resort into a chaotic playground.
“It's laugh-vacation time!”
Synopsis
Monsieur Hulot, the clown created by Jacques Tati, spends a holiday at a seaside resort where his presence triggers a succession of catastrophes. The film presents gentle slapstick through a series of well‑choreographed sight gags that involve dogs, boats and firecrackers; it is the first entry in the Hulot series and the work that brought its creator international stardom.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 33
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
