bottom left, Michael Gambon as commissioner Maigret
Bonus for actors... too much to write, thus screenshot and wikipedia link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jules_Maigret The number of different actors is quite impressive, I did not expect that number at all.

You got it:
Top left is Bruno Cremer - great French series. then from the 1960's Rupert Davies and Micheal Gambon ...and unexpectedly good in the role Rowan Atkinson
I've always enjoyed reading involving mysteries.
Edgar Allan Poe, Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie (I'm sorry if I spelled the names wrong.. too lazy to search). But of this author, George Simenon, I had never heard of him before, nor of his works. In any case, I'll do some research and see if I can find some of his books in my language. it was easy and fast https://elivros.love/autor/Georges-Simenon

She was exactly right". (from Wikipedia) I'm going to search for Rowan Atkinson as Maigret, I have no doubt he might be good (confirmed by rich2005)

I noticed that The Bruno Cremer series is currently showing on an old movies channel, French language with subtitles. Apart from great stories, I love the street scenes with the old cars. Citroen's and Renault 4CV's The Brit versions show a bit more home-life with his wife. |
