Director: Claudio Tonetti | Stars: Bruno Cremer, Alexandre Brasseur, Philippe Khorsand, Philippe Magnan
Votes: 80
Le fou de Bergerac, novel, 1932. This one is puzzling: the characters have been kept, but the plot has been altered, to the point of creating a new story around some people who took part in the Vichy regime during the war. I would have preferred a simpler story without the Vichy theme. Some good acting from Michel Vuillermoz and Philippe Khorsand.

Director: José Pinheiro | Stars: Bruno Cremer, Jacqueline Danno, Jean-Louis Foulquier, Philippe Polet
Votes: 137
Maigret au Picratt's, novel, 1951. Very entertaining, if a little confusing. A stripper (Maria Golovine) is murdered in her club late at night; she knows about some secrets in the shady world of a strip club. Excellent evocation of a show business milieu, and terrific music from the club band.

Director: Jacques Fansten | Stars: Bruno Cremer, Jean-Luc Bideau, Manuela Gourary, Isabelle Candelier
Votes: 82
Novel, 1956. One of the better ones, both in terms of acting and atmosphere. Jean-Luc Bideau plays a really nasty man who has a chain of butcher shops; there's a long list of people who'd like to kill him. Who actually did is eventually discovered by a bemused Maigret (his barely controlled dislike of Fumale is wonderful to watch). The dead man was a generous donor to the party in power, so it's a very sensitive case.
12.
Maigret (1991–2005)
Episode:
Cécile est morte
(1994)
90 min | Crime, Drama, Mystery
Young Cécile and her aunt are killed. Maigret must find out who did it.

Votes: 106
Novel, 1942. Cecile is a little nuts, the men at the police station think. She hears furniture being moved around the house late at night, wonders why. Then she turns up dead. Good production, acting. Claude Pieplu shines as a disbarred lawyer with dubious morals who has a way with banter.
13.

Votes: 75
Novel, 1968. One of the best in the series. Excellent acting from Roger Pierre, Marianne Groves, Hubert Saint-Macary. A woman with four lovers is found murdered in her room. Who wanted to kill her? Lies, blackmail, all sorts of motives for the men in her life.

Votes: 88
Novel, 1931. This is said to be the most popular Maigret novel, with two films and six TV adaptations. The emotional tone is very dark, forbidding. Mysterious setting, good acting make this memorable. A man is released from prison in hopes that he can help solve a case. Olivier Achard, Marisa Berenson.

Director: Hannu Kahakorpi | Stars: Bruno Cremer, Heinz Bennent, Elizabeth Bourgine, Timo Torikka
Votes: 118
Novel, 1964. The action has been moved from Paris to Finland, probably for better European sales. This is not one of the stronger stories, having to do with a shady art dealer and his very eccentric wife. Heinz Bennent as the dealer.

Votes: 156
Novel, 1951. This is the first episode in the series. A prostitute tries to clear her boyfriend who has disappeared, fearing he'll be charged with breaking and entering in Neuilly. He found a corpse in the house he entered. The two occupants of the house, Renee Faure and Michael Lonsdale, are very creepy people indeed. Wonderful suspense and atmosphere. Laurent Petitgirard's music is very evocative.
18.

Episode:
Maigret tend un piège
(1996)
95 min | Crime, Drama, Mystery
Four serial murders in the Marais district of Paris. Maigret sets a trap. Pretending to have arrested the assassin, he sends trained plainclothes policewomen out at night as bait. Maigret hopes that the killer's pride will force him to act.
Director: Juraj Herz | Stars: Bruno Cremer, Bruno Todeschini, Hélène Surgère, Laurence Masliah
Votes: 102
It isn't fair to compare this version with the great Gabin film of 1958, which had Jean Desailly, Annie Girardot and Lucienne Bogaert as the leads--this version is anemic and uninspired. Can be ignored.
19.

(1996)
87 min | Crime, Drama, Mystery
Maigret tries to find the person responsible for the death of a harbor master who, after disappearing for six weeks, could no longer speak and had no physical reactions to anything.
Director: Charles Nemes | Stars: Bruno Cremer, Jean-Claude Dauphin, Jeanne Marine, Jean-Marie Cornille
Votes: 104

Votes: 100
Novel, 1965. There's a jewelry shop hold-up, leading to the death of a policeman. Maigret questions Manuel, a criminal he's known for 20 years, and gets nothing from him. Agnes Soral (Tchao pantin) plays a woman who'll do anything... Good adaptation, acting and music from Petitgirard.
21.
Les enquêtes du commissaire Maigret (1967–1990)
Episode:
L'affaire Saint-Fiacre
(1980)
103 min | Crime, Drama

Director: Jean-Paul Sassy | Stars: Jean Richard, Jean-Paul Zehnacker, France Delahalle, Didier Sauvegrain
Votes: 16
Novel, 1932. There's a great film with Jean Gabin and Michel Auclair, see it and don't bother with this episode. Jean Richard was a mediocre Maigret--he had the face of a bank teller, not a subtle thoughtful one--and the other actors are forgettable too.
22.
Maigret (1991–2005)
Episode:
Maigret et la vente à la bougie
(1995)
96 min | Crime, Drama, Mystery

Director: Pierre Granier-Deferre | Stars: Bruno Cremer, Etienne Chicot, Daniel Gélin, Michèle Moretti
Votes: 99
Story, 1950. Confined to a single set--an auberge--this is a quiet episode that doesn't make your pulse quicken. Daniel Gelin plays an old man, Etienne Chicot (great slacker in Hotel des Ameriques) the innkeeper.

Votes: 69
A single set: an hotel, L'Estrapade in a quiet residential street near the Jardin de Luxembourg. One of Maigret's men is shot while staking out the hotel; Maigret takes a room in it to figure things out. Star casting of Maria Schneider as Mme. Boursicault, a woman who knows more than she lets on.

Director: Christian de Chalonge | Stars: Bruno Cremer, Alexandre Brasseur, Thierry Frémont, Nicole Croisille
Votes: 78
A wine merchant is shot dead after a tryst with a girl, who's to blame? Dominique Frot has an amusing cameo, but this is not one of the best episodes.
26.
Maigret (1991–2005)

Les vacances de Maigret

94 min | Crime, Drama, Mystery
Even on holiday, Maigret must investigate crime.
Director: Pierre Joassin | Stars: Bruno Cremer, Alain Doutey, Ronny Coutteure, Catherine Aymerie
Votes: 113
Maigret goes to Belgium, where his wife has relatives, and gets involved in a murder investigation, even though he is far from his jurisdiction (as people keep telling him). Good acting, direction.
27.
Maigret (1991–2005)
Episode:
Maigret en Finlande
(1996)
88 min | Crime, Drama, Mystery
When a French man is accused of murder in Finland and he refuses to talk unless to a French police, Inspector Maigret is once again forced to travel to Finland to investigate the case.
Director: Pekka Parikka | Stars: Bruno Cremer, Robin Renucci, Timo Torikka, Irina Björklund
Votes: 131
Another novel rewritten to provide a Finnish locale. All the Finns struggle manfully to speak French, some manage to. This and Maigret et le fantome are the weakest episodes I've seen yet.
28.
Les enquêtes du commissaire Maigret (1967–1990)
Episode:
Maigret et le corps sans tête
(1974)
82 min | Crime, Drama

Director: Marcel Cravenne | Stars: Jean Richard, Suzanne Flon, Gabriel Cattand, Jean Mourat
Votes: 15
This gave me a lot of pleasure, or rather Suzanne Flon did. Her voice is so splendid: that smoky drawl--"no-n, no-n... ouais... c'est arrive", it's gorgeous to my ears. The Canal Saint-Martin looks great too, with the shops on the quai. We'll forget about the man who plays Maigret.
29.
Maigret (1991–2005)
Episode:
Maigret et les témoins récalcitrants
(1993)

Director: Michel Sibra | Stars: Bruno Cremer, Jean-Claude Frissung, Eric Prat, Marc Duret
Votes: 91
Gisele Casadesus (100 years old this year and still acting!) plays the matriarch of a crooked family in this episode. Christine Cohendy shines as the daughter who has cut off ties with the family.

Episode:
Maigret chez les riches
(2000)
92 min | Crime, Drama, Mystery
Maigret investigates a threatening letter at the Parendon mansion.
Directors: Denys Granier-Deferre, Pierre Joassin | Stars: Bruno Cremer, Alexandre Brasseur, Caroline Silhol, Michel Duchaussoy
Votes: 97
Novel, 1968. A wealthy lawyer gets threatening letters, Maigret investigates. Michel Duchaussoy and Caroline Sihol play the unhappy couple. Pierre Granier-Deferre wrote the screenplay, his son Denys directed, and his grand daughter Celia plays the lawyer's daughter: that's a family!

Votes: 108
Michel Bouquet plays a judge with a very strange family. When a man turns up dead in his house, the judge starts to cover up the traces. Some fine acting in this one.
32.
Maigret (1991–2005)
Episode:
Maigret et la nuit du carrefour
(1992)
TV-14 | 88 min | Crime, Drama, Mystery
Maigret investigates a murder at a crossroads in rural France. Everybody has something to hide, and he's got to find the guilty one.
Directors: Alain Tasma, Bertrand Van Effenterre | Stars: Bruno Cremer, Sunnyi Melles, Roland Blanche, Johan Leysen
Votes: 117
This competes with the Renoir film of 1931, with Pierre Renoir playing Maigret. I found it engrossing; the puzzle of why these people living in isolation have all these conflicts is well worked out. Sunnyi Melles is very good as a trampy elegant woman with many secrets.
33.
Maigret (1991–2005)
Episode:
Maigret chez les Flamands
(1992)
83 min | Crime, Drama, Mystery
Maigret is sent at the Border with Belgium to investigate on a shady affair.
Director: Serge Leroy | Stars: Bruno Cremer, Alexandra Vandernoot, Sabrina Leurquin, Gérard Darier
Votes: 132
Whenever the action is set in a foreign country, Belgium in this case, the dramatic effect is diminished. I didn't find a lot of interest in this one. A Walloon is suspected of a crime by his Flemish neighbours, Maigret investigates.

Maigret (1991–2005)
Episode:
Maigret voit double

Director: François Luciani | Stars: Bruno Cremer, Alexandre Brasseur, Laure Duthilleul, Aladin Reibel

A dead man has a lot of secrets, so many in fact that working the puzzle out is hard for the viewer, as it is for Maigret.
35.
Maigret (1991–2005)
Episode:
Mon ami Maigret
(2001)
92 min | Crime, Drama, Mystery
Maigret, accompanied by an inspector from Scotland Yard, visits a small island where a man, who carried an old letter coming from Maigret, was murdered.
Director: Bruno Gantillon | Stars: Bruno Cremer, Alexandre Brasseur, Michael Morris, Annie Sinigalia
Votes: 98
In the sunny south, beaches and sail boats and pretty girls. Not one of the best episodes.

Director: Pierre Granier-Deferre | Stars: Bruno Cremer, Alexandre Brasseur, Florence Darel, Jacques Boudet
Votes: 79
That beautiful redhead Florence Darel stars as the young mistress of a sleazy businessman who's made lots of enemies. Claustrophobia a problem--just one set--but the acting is very good. Jacques Dacqmine as the victim.

Episode:
Maigret se trompe
(1994)
83 min | Crime, Drama, Mystery
A young prostitute is killed in a posh Paris apartment, and Maigret is on the case. Who did it?
Director: Joyce Buñuel | Stars: Bruno Cremer, Danièle Lebrun, Bernadette Lafont, Brigitte Catillon
Votes: 101
This is a good episode about some women who idolize a powerful man, in this case a surgeon. Daniele Lebrun as the wife is appropriately worshipful, Brigitte Catillon as the sister-in-law is harsh and cynical, and Anny Romand plays the doctor's assistant. Bernadette Lafont whom I have liked for many years is a very funny observer of all these people.

Director: Pierre Joassin | Stars: Bruno Cremer, Georges Siatidis, Pascale Arbillot, Florence Hebbelynck

This is one of the finest episodes. The Marton family is living in a hell of their own devising, and sooner or later something will explode. And it does. Fine acting particularly from Pascale Arbillot.

It's a little hard to follow the story, and the lack of violence means no attention-grabbing moments, but the acting will carry you along. Special notice to Jean Martin as a retired gay judge who delivers some very pertinent comments on the case.

Novel, Le deuil a Fonsine. We're in the countryside, it can't stop raining, Maigret's borrowed boots don't fit him, and he has to deal with two sisters who hate each other so much (one throws a Molotov cocktail at the other's shed); it is a very difficult situation but Maigret comes through with his usual calm. Superb acting from Genevieve Fontanel and Michele Simonnet as the antagonistic sisters.
