“This exhibition praised the rapid production methods of American industry, in particular the rise of prefabricated housing which completely changed the way of life in American suburbs. Of course, not everyone was ready to be Americanized: it is said that it was this exposure that pushed Jacques Tati to make his first comedy ‘Jour de fete’ (1949), in which he showed what would happen if the people tried to apply American techniques in their little village” (Colin Affichiste, p. 104).
