Interesting facts
Le Pétomane is a 1979 British short tragicomic biographical film directed by Ian MacNaughton and starring Leonard Rossiter. It was written by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson based on the life of Le Pétomane, the stage name of the 19th century French flatulist and entertainer Joseph Pujol who was famous for his remarkable control of the abdominal muscles, which enabled him to seemingly fart at will and whose 'farting' performances at the Moulin Rouge in Paris drove his audiences to hysterics.
