Maigret knows that the burglar is no killer. His investigations lead him to a dentist Guillaume Serre (Christopher Benjamin.) A cool customer whose wife is missing, supposedly she has gone to Amsterdam, the country of her birth. Episodes included such well-known faces as Stratford Johns, Leon Cortez, Terence Alexander, Roger Delgado, William Franklyn, Michael Goodliffe, and Barry Foster, among others. [2] Not one of the greatest Maigret stories but a great drawing of characters involved and a beautiful insight of a Paris and Europe of old. Simenon shows once more that he can write a detective in yet another way and make you want to read the story right to the end. Rowan Atkinson plays Maigret in Maigret for television films made by ITV from 2016. The first two episodes were adapted from Maigret Sets a Trap and Maigret's Dead Man. [25] Two further episodes were broadcast in 2017, adapted from Maigret at the Crossroads [26] and Maigret in Montmartre. [27] Inspector Cadaver appeared as Maigret's Rival in a Penguin triple edition of 1985 along with The Night Club and Maigret in New York. This is the original translation by Helen Thomson, with an introduction by Paul Bailey.

Murielle Wenger, Stephen Trussel Maigret's World: A Reader's Companion to Simenon's Famous Detective, McFarland 2017, p.1-2 I have only one complaint about this series, and this book in particular: they go by too fast. This was my favorite so far--a woman Maigret arrested years ago for theft who embarrassed him by stripping naked and refusing to go with him (and who is the "tall woman" of the title) comes to him to ask him find her boyfriend, a thief who discovered a dead woman while robbing an affluent dentist. But when Maigret investigates there is no body and the dentist denies having been robbed.

The moment Simenon saw me he shouted: " C'est Maigret, c'est Maigret. You are the flesh and bones of Maigret!" Davies later remembered. "That was a wonderful beginning. Then he drove us to his lovely château in the village of Échandens, where I met his wife. Later he began to coach me in Maigret's idiosyncrasies." [4]

The series starred Rupert Davies as the Police Judiciaire detective Commissaire Jules Maigret, who took up the role in 1960 after Basil Sydney, who had played Maigret in the pilot episode, was unable to continue.

The Strange Case of Peter the Lett, The Case of Peter the Lett, Maigret and the Enigmatic Lett ('31) PLOT In most novels, Maigret is aged around 45 to 55 years. There are contradictive clues to his year of birth. In Monsieur Gallet, décédé, which takes place in 1930, Maigret is described as 45, indicating 1885 as his year of birth. In another novel La première enquete de Maigret, where the investigation takes place in 1913, the author states that Maigret is 26, which establish his year of birth as 1887. In the 1932 novel L'affaire Saint-Fiacre, Maigret is 42, which would mean he was born in 1890, assuming that Maigret is contemporary to the year the novel was written.
