    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      One of the most-adapted Simenon stories; it was also adapted as the penultimate episode of Season 3 of the BBC's "Maigret" series in the 1960s, starring Rupert Davies and as the final segment of Season 1 of the ITV series of the 1990s starring Michael Gambon. It was filmed in France in 1958 with Jean Gabin and has been adapted for French and Italian television.
    • Goofs
      Various French newspapers are shown, in particular Le Monde with the picture of an arrested suspect on the front page.

      In fact, Le Monde didn't carry any photos at all until the 1980s, let alone on the front page.

    Contemporary and exemplary
    I will highly rate this film for several reasons.

    First, this is George Simenon, a 1st class writer. Second : Rowan Atkinson understood the role, the character and the script.

    This is a Filme Noire at it's best. The fact that it involves murder is of little consequence, this is about character portrayal, this is a look into the reasoning and understanding of the personas of people and their solitudes, their anguishes, their souls, their darker depths..

    In my personal opinion Rowan Atkinson nailed Maigret in a contemporary format. He was subtle and did not overplay. My image of Rowan has completely changed, this man can act, he feels, sees and behaves his role.....

    But the film was not just Rowan Atkinson, it was an entire cast, it was a Mise En Scene as it should be... This is exemplary of what can still be done today outside of the glamour of Hollywood..

    Living in France I have obviously seen the Maigret films and episodes and this film in no way undermines not fails the originals...

    Well done to the screen writer, director and cast for producing a down to earth and deeper portrayal of what has become customary, well done for taking a step aside and giving us something to watch that goes beyond the superficial...

    Although this will never become a classic, it is definitely worth adding to any repertoire...
