    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.

    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.
