OVERALL: R1
The Complete Jacques Tati set for 3 versions of the film, the best set of extras and being English-friendly.
The following versions of the movie are known:
- The original 1949 black-and-white version (~79 mins),
- The alternate 1964 black-and-white version, including additional sequences with a new character (a painter), a few colorized shots, and a different soudntrack in which the story is told from the painter's point of view (~82 mins),
- The 1995 Thomsoncolor version - the film was shot by Tati simultaneously in B&W and the experimental Thomsoncolor but the firm went bankrupt and color prints could not be made by conventional means, so the negatives were not processed until 1995 (~79 mins).
