ルネ・クレマン
René Clément was first approached to direct "L'École des facteurs" (1947), but as he was preoccupied directing "La Bataille du rail" (1946), directing duties fell to Tati, who also starred in this short comedy about rural life. Encouragingly, "L'École des facteurs" was enthusiastically well-received upon release, winning the Max Linder Prize for film comedy in 1947.
