Short description

Clumsy Monsieur Hulot finds himself perplexed by the intimidating complexity of a gadget-filled Paris. He attempts to meet with a business contact but soon becomes lost. His roundabout journey parallels that of an American tourist, and as they weave through the inventive urban environment, they intermittently meet, developing an interest in one another. They eventually get together at a chaotic restaurant, along with several other quirky characters.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Filming lasted from 1964 to 1967. To save money, giant photographs were used in some scenes to simulate interiors and architectural views.
  • In 2002, 800,000 euros were spent on restoring the film. The new version has a runtime of 126 minutes.
