About this product

Product Information

IN FRENCH WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES In these newly remastered HD filmed adaptations of Georges Simenons bestselling crime novels, international film star Bruno Cremer (The Octopus, Sorcerer) brings the beloved Parisian Inspector Maigret to life. Sporting his pipe that seems a nod to Sherlock Holmes, the pragmatic 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: Maigret in Montmartre Maigret and the Burglars Wife Maigret and the Flemish Shop Maigret and the Judge Maigret and the Headless Corpse Maigret at the Crossroads Maigret and the Majestic Maigret on Trial Maigret's Patience Maigret and the Man on the Bench Maigret and the Reluctant Witnesses Maigret and the Ghost Maigret and the No. 1 Lock Maigret and the Spinster Maigrets War of Nerves Maigrets Mistake Maigret and the Old Lady Maigret and the Candle Auction No Vacation for Maigret Maigret is Afraid Maigret Goes Home Maigret and the Death of a Harbor Master Maigret in Finland Maigret Sets a Trap Maigret and the Elusive Witness Maigret and the Liberty Bar Maigret and the Vanishing Mr. Owen Maigret Versus Mr. Cavre Mrs. Four and Her Children Death in a Vegetable Garden First Class Murder Maigret Sees Double Maigret and the Rich Maigret and the Fortune Hunter My Friend Maigret Maigret and the Open Window Maigret and the Wine Merchant Maigret and the Minister Maigret and the Madman of Saint Clothilde Maigret goes to School Felicies House Maigret and the Princess To Any Lengths Maigrets Failure Maigrets Boyhood Friend Maigret Has Scruples Little Pigs Without a Tail Maigret and the Tramp A Shadow in the Courtyard Maigret at the Doctor's Maigret Rents a Room The Lady's Companion Seven Little Crosses Maigret at the Etoile du Nord FEATURES: Format: Widescreen, NTSC Region: Region 1 Number of discs: 27 Rated: NR Not Rated Studio: MHz Networks DVD Release Date: October 30, 2018 Run Time: 4920 minutes

  • The original & the best film Maigret

    The first & the original film Maigret. I've seen the other versions with Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean), and Michael Gambon (Dumbledore). They're good too, but this one is great. It says a lot about the caliber of actors playing the part of Maigret. You see a lot of French culture and landscapes in these films. The pace is slow compared to other versions. Personally, I prefer the slower pace. I wonder if this is a French trait? A more leisurely existence. While travelling there, we always had long lunches, and dinner around 8 p.m. , and it was always worth the wait. Other fictional detectives like Sherlock Holmes, and even Columbo are great at catching the culprits. Maigret is a more relaxed psychological study of criminality. Personally, I don't believe that criminals are born. Yet, who in real life has the time to delve into every criminals' psyche? Only a fictional detective. Bruno Cremer is Maigret. I'm not sure if he ever had any other roles; this one is his best, I'll bet.

  • Bruno Cremer is an excellent Maigret

    Bruno Cremer is an excellent Maigret. I purchased the collection because it has English subtitles. The disk with "Maigret goes home" and "Maigret and the Death of Harbour Master" was a duplicate of disk disk five so the set is missing those episodes. The set was factory sealed so it must be a manufacturing error.

  • 80 Hours of Great Mysteries

    The series has been remastered for HD TV and the picture quality is amazing compared to the original series shown on TV. If you like old fashion mysteries with a good plot, interesting characters (great old cars), and without a lot of violence, I would highly recommend Maigret.

  • Huge value, great series

    Huge value for the money, lots of episodes and each is nearly two hours. Bruno is a great Maigret. The subtitles are easy to read.

  • Best in the world

    They do not make films like this, anymore. Fine acting, fabulous backgrounds and the pipe! It doesn't get any better. It's slow, with no loud music, at anytime. Love it!

  • Excel.

    Was doubtful due to being in French. Never had experience with subtitles. Was surprised how I got used to them. Not sorry I purchased.

  • Vive Maigret

    Not quite BBC Rupert Davies, but entertainig. Awful subtitles, though. Must have been done by someone with poor level of English.
