Trivia
Many of the gags in this movie were previously used nearly identically in 'L'école des facteurs'.
''Jour De Fete'' 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.
After two short films, this was the first feature length film directed by Jacques Tati.
