Monsieur Hulot
Monsieur Hulot is a character created and played by French comic Jacques Tati for a series of films in the 1950s and '60s, namely ''Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot'' (1953), ''Mon Oncle'' (1958), ''Playtime'' (1967) and ''Trafic'' (1971). The character of Hulot (although played by another actor) also appears briefly in François Truffaut's '' Bed & Board'' (1970). He is recognized by his overcoat, pipe and hat, and his distinctive lurching walk. He is clumsy and somewhat naive of the evolving world around him, but still has a friendly, well-meaning, and good-natured persona. His escapades usually involved clashes with technology and the problems of living in an increasingly impersonal and gadgetized world. In ''Trafic'', Hulot, the designer of a new camper-car, "struggles valiantly… against the perpetual roadblocks of cars, policemen, bureaucrats and just people".Judith Crist, “A Honey of a Jam,” ''New York Magazine'', Dec 11, 1972.
