Trivia

Many of the gags in this movie were previously used nearly identically in 'L'école des facteurs'.

After two short films, this was the first feature length film directed by Jacques Tati.

''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.
