- The film is the first work of the "Mr. Hulot tetralogy", the following three are " My Uncle ", " Play Time " and "Traffic Accident" .
- In the 1920s, director Tati met a barber while serving in the military. The barber who seemed fearless because of his stupidity and naivety became the prototype of "Hulot". "Hulot" is named after one of Tati's neighbors .
- The film was shot in real scenes. During the filming, the hotel where Mr. Hulot stayed in the film was still open. In order not to affect the normal business of the hotel, Tati built a fake door on one side of the hotel. After the film was released, many tourists came to the beach where the film was filmed and wanted to stay in the room where Mr. Luo lived in the film, but in fact the room where Mr. Luo lived did not exist at all, it was just a skylight .

The Aunt: A marvelous view, don't you think, Monsieur? I was just admiring the sea, the rocks, the white sails. It's all so lovely. Is that Saint-Nazare? See? Over there.
Monsieur Hulot: No. It's over there.
The Aunt: I always find a seaside vacation so pleasant and restful. Unfortunately, it's so windy that my hair's always a mess.
