Jacques Tati described Hulot as “tall, and he cannot hide - he cannot conceal himself behind a lamppost or anything else -whereas Chaplin could hide behind a small trash can, leave his hat on the can, then sneak behind another small can, while making people believe that he was still in back of the first one, whereupon he would come back to grab his hat.
