I had to check out a Jean Gabin film I had never heard of before. The story is interesting and ties up nicely. It does seem like it would be preposterous at times, but all the characters are well-written.
Vegan alert:
-The doctor says he's going to go to a duck shoot.
-Fur coats
-Reference to killing partridges, racehorses, brie, and Gruyère cheese. -
Auf ein Bier mit Kommissar Maigret. Aber ein Helles mit ganz wenig Schaum. Das schmeckt richtig gut und die Dialoge Gabins knallen dazu mehr als jede Kugel.
-
A personal affair for inspector Maigret in this captivating whodunit, where, in typical Simenon fashion, Evil mustn't only be named, but must also confess and ask for forgiveness.
Colourful characterisation, a pre-murder scene taken straight out of a gothic horror flick and Gabin's magnetism place this among the best Simenon adaptations.
-
Emotional rating based on what a pleasure it was to see Gabin in this role at that stage of his career. Older Gabin is great in much the same way as older John Wayne as he knows that his mere presence means a lot and can communicate everything with minimal effort.

"Maigret kennt kein Erbarmen"
Jean Gabin als Kommissar Maigret in seinem zweiten Film ist einfach Großartig.
Spitzen Krimi im schönen alten Frankreich! -
Man these are beautifully made films. This one may be even better than Sets a Trap. Exquisite, funny, charming, and vicious.
-
A tidy mystery. Not as good as Maigret sets a trap, but still very solid. And of course Jean Gabin is fabulous as always.
-
Very average mystery flick with Jean Gabin as Georges Simenon's famed detective Jules Maigret. It surprises in the end but the build-up doesn't hold a whole lot of interest as Maigret investigates the murder of a countess in his childhood hometown. If you're hankering for a mystery film, you can probably find better.

Why were European films to clean and crisp, compared to Hollywood’s output? This comfy, French Whodunnit looks like a Bergman film. Jean Gabin plays an Orson Welles-looking police inspector. It’s a bit like a cross between Sherlock Holmes and EA Poe, but much calmer.
I think Gabin only played Maigret two or three times, which is a bummer. -
Jean Gabin, risolvi anche i misteri della mia vita (che però, si spera, non prevedono contesse morte).

There's something rotten in the St Fiacre castle...
In Jean Delannoy's "Maigret and the St Fiacre Affair", second cinematic adaptation starring Jean Gabin as the iconic detective, we're taken from the shadowy and menacing streets of Montmartre by night to the more bucolic and colorful Provence, a change of scenery, but not of scenario.
St Fiacre is a fictional village basking in its monotonous routine, spared by the corruptive rollercoaster of modernity, a village where the local aristocrat or the priest are emblematic and influential figures and like the church or the city council, where every place goes by one: one grocery shop, one bank, one church, one nightclub. That's St Fiacre, hidden in the middle of France's hinterland, as…

Gabin es un Maigret canónico.
Si a esto le añadimos la trama, la ambientación rural y decadente y la solidez de la trama, nos queda un divertimento dignísimo.
