So little movies have been made about famous detective created by Georges Simenon, that this one is actually worth watching if you are desperate for old school detective movies. Gerard Depardieu makes good performance and somehow catches the spirit of Maigret, in this tale of murder of aspiring actress. Maigret often leaves culprits alone, and is non-judgmental character. However he has keen eye and is disgusted by prudity and hypocrisy. In brilliant scene where one of dead girl neighbour shows dressed like the dead girl murderers are terrified, not knowing what to say, since they killed her. However Maigret leaves them alone with their guilty conscience and in the end say goodbye to his helper who leaves on the train.
