Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOne 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.
- GoofsDuring scenes where there's flash-photography, modern capacitor driven flashes, with multiple sequential flashes from the same flash-gun occur. At the period the film is set magnesium flashbulbs were the standard, which have to be replaced for every shot. These scenes ought to have had much fumbling trying to remove and replace dead glass bulbs, and been accompanied by loud pops as each flash exposure was made, and the crunch of glass underfoot, as reporters usually just dropped them.

Featured review
Nothing like the books
I enjoyed this series, but only after letting go of my expectations. This production bears little resemblance to the Maigret books. The plots are there, but not Maigret. The Gambon series is much closer to the spirit and feel of the books, but these are more modern: more gritty, dark, and violent.
