One of my (many) pictures I took at the expo in Ghent (2010/2011).
The fish fountain in Madame Arpel's garden is one the best props/gimmicks in comedy history.
It has a touch of 'keeping up appearances', but on another comedic level. Madame Arpel was a fifties version of Hyacinth Bouquet.

Mon Oncle.
For the role of Mme Arpel, +60 persons were considered to play that part. Adrienne Servantie became the perfect Madame Arpel.
For Mr Arpel, some 40-ish actors plus non-actors were considered at the time. (played by Jean-Pierre Zola.. he was also in The French Connection II and The Train - both Frankenheimer)

The opening scene and credits to Jacques Tati's Oscar winning 1958 film Mon Oncle (aka My Uncle, which actually won the Academy Award in 1959).
Warning: you'll get hooked when you watch too much Tati movies.

Must be pre-corona because they sit so closely together...;)
En 1958, Jacques Tati interviewé à Cannes pour son film «Mon oncle»
"Instead of returning the dogs to the SPA, he advertised in his usual newspaper, Le Figaro, asking for home for dogs that were soon to be film stars. Of course he got a massive response, & was able to provide all his hounds with a comfortable life thereafter."

The canine star of Mon Oncle is Dackie, the Arpels' sausage-dog. His owner, Tati's friend Borrah Minevich, died suddenly shortly after filming began. Dackie went to another friend, Jean-Jacques Broïdo. A direct descendant of Dackie still live in the Broïdo household in Geneva.(1/3)

On the 4th of November 1982, Jacques Tati died of a blood clot -pulmonary embolism- in his lungs. His unique movies and the entire universe built around them remain vivid.
