The better one

Now that I have seen Rowan Atkinson's version of this story, I can say that Bruno Cremer does a much better job of playing Maigret as he tries to unravel a very tangled knot of plot lines. It isn't so much that the English actors are less authentic in their performances, it's that the mystery and suspense are handled so much better in the older version. Only the Grasshopper, the man who acts as tout for the strip club has a more vivid presence. If you can manage to find this episode, Marina Golovine as Lili, the murdered stripper has a show stopping few minutes at the police station as she--very drunk--tries to give a statement to a very bored cop.
