IN FRENCH WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES International film star Bruno Cremer brings the beloved Parisian Inspector Maigret to life in this definitive series of filmed adaptations of legendary writer Georges Simenon's bestselling crime novels. Sporting his pipe that seems a nod to Sherlock Holmes, the pragmatic, reserved and refined Maigret investigates murders in his singular unhurried manner and inevitably discovers the truth. To crack his cases he peels back the veneer of seemingly idyllic villages and neighborhoods, exposing the criminals who lurk in all levels of society. Against a backdrop of 1950s Paris and the surrounding French countryside, these original feature-length films pay homage to one of the most brilliant detective minds of the twentieth century. This set includes episodes 43-48: To Any Lengths, Maigret Failure, Maigret s Boyhood Friend, Maigret has Scruples, Little Pigs Without a Tail, Maigret and the Tramp

Cremer as Maigret - THE BEST!!
The Great French Actor Bruno Cremer IS Inspector Maigret. Set in the early 50s just after the war this series captures the seedy aspects of France before it became a tourist mecca. The culture, the language, the mores, the people of France - always fascinating and alluring. Highly recommend this entire series! the mysteries are truly puzzling; Maigret has a special talent that figures out who did what. I watch while on my treadmill; I have to read the subtitles anyway so... Keeps me walking, running, walking...

The Best Portrayal of Jules Maigret
Simenon would be pleased by the performances given by Bruno Cremer in this series. The supporting staff is outstanding, as well, and the background bring a strong aura of realism to most of the episodes. If you have not yet met Chief Superintendent Maigret, you are missing one of the most believable characters on DVD. Simply put, these are the best detective stories you can find on DVD.

At last!
A much needed version of Georges Simenon in the vernacular, so to speak. Subtitles are a little odd but then you'll be speaking French by the end anyway so who needs 'em?

Review of cover art - not the DVDs
I just purchased this set of Maigret episodes and was disappointed to see that the distributor did a poor job in packaging these DVDs. The box cover for the first 3 episodes (43-45) was incorrect. It is instead a duplicate of the box cover for the last 3 episodes (46-48). I have tried to contact the distributor, MHz Networks, but they have failed to respond to my messages and email.

Top notch Maigret
For true Maigret fans set 8 is in my opinion the best. The episodes show his deductive powers at their bestand his compassionate side comes through as well.

Best Maigret on the screen
The best Maigret on video! (I won't post this for every set, but they're all top rate and well worth having!)

See my review for set 9 -- a bit old-fashioned but very enjoyable.
