Flickle answer for October 12, 2026

Oct 12’s Flickle hints

Hint 1
A 2007 slapstick comedy following a bumbling Englishman on a trip to the south of France.
Hint 2
Rowan Atkinson, a Cannes-bound train journey, and almost no intelligible dialogue.
Hint 3
The character's first name is never given; three words, first letter M.
Reveal the answer
Mr. Bean's Holiday (2007)
Why this is the answer (spoilers)

Mr. Bean's Holiday is a 2007 comedy directed by Steve Bendelack, sending Rowan Atkinson's Bean from London to Cannes after winning a church raffle. It was the character's second and so far last cinema outing.

Recognition is nearly instant if you know the face: Atkinson's expressions carry the clips even without dialogue. The French locations, the bicycle chase and the Cannes premiere sequence are the standout images. If the clips show a tweed jacket causing chaos across France with minimal speech, there is only one candidate.
