YUL 871 is a Canadian drama film, directed by Jacques Godbout and released in 1966.
[2] The film stars Charles Denner as an unnamed Romanian Jewish engineer who is in Montreal on a business trip, although it centres primarily on his personal experiences during the trip, including his search for information about his parents who disappeared in Romania during World War II, and his brief love affair with a younger woman.
The film's cast also includes Andrée Lachapelle, Paul Buissonneau, Francine Landry, Jean Duceppe, Jacques Desrosiers, Louise Marleau and Claude Préfontaine.
Musical comedy duo Les Jérolas, consisting of Jérôme Lemay and Jean Lapointe, also appear in the film performing songs.
The film's title refers to the engineer's flight to Montreal; YUL is the IATA code for what was then known as Montreal-Dorval International Airport.
