Paris: Jolly Film, 1967. Three vintage reference photographs (one borderless) from the 1967 film. With manuscript annotations regarding layout to the verso, and one with the stamp of Specta Films.

A masterpiece of French cinema. Using his own money, director Jacques Tati meticulously constructed a second "Paris" outside of Paris for the third—and most magnificent—of the four Hulot films, following "Monsieur Hulot's Holiday" (1953) and "Mon Oncle" (1958). The third feature finds him in the much-modernized heart of the city, with its complexities unfolding, revolving, deconstructing, and reconstructing before his eyes.

Set in Paris.

7 x 5 inches. Very Good plus, with light edgewear.
