	Maigret - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jules Maigret, known as (Commissaire) Maigret to most people, including his wife, is a fictional police detective, created by writer Georges Simenon.
		Some of his trademark features are his pipes, his mixed approach to detecting (at times relying on pure intuition, at times on method) and his tendency to pop into small cafes to have several alcoholic beverages.
		His sidekicks are not clichéd mindless puppets, only there to contrast with the brilliance of Maigret; instead, that role is reserved for the public prosecutor.

	Strat's Place - Daniel Rogov - Inspector Maigret and the Plat du Jour
		The cafe seemed to Maigret "like a country inn that had been forgotten when Paris had grown around it." Housed in a long, narrow building, there was a single step that led down to the cool room.
		Maigret enjoyed the sausage and, even though it was the first time he had Cognacat six in the morning, he found it a pleasant treat.
		When Maigret was sent to the town of Lucon as temporary regional superintendent, he was regailed for his first day's lunch with a marvelous shrimp mousse which was followed by an exquisite beef tongue in raisin sauce.

		Chief Inspector Maigret has clearly chosen to work on the side of the law, and he clearly feels a great responsibility to carry out his work to the best of his ability, but there's never a sense that he's judging the criminals whom he works so diligently to catch.
		Maigret realizes that in order for society to run smoothly for the benefit of most, those who break the laws must be punished, but that doesn't make them necessarily evil.
		Maigret is presented realistically, but without the "rub the viewer's face in the violence and degradation of the street" approach that can be seen in some U.S. crime dramas.

	MAIGRET NOVELS BY GEORGES SIMENON (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Maigret is going about his work in rainy Paris, followed around by Inspector Pyke who has come from Scotland Yard to study the famous French detective's methods.
		Maigret and Inspector Pyke leave the greyness of Paris for the sunshine of Porquerolles where Simenon creates a wonderfully evocative atmosphere of the square and cafe, the brilliant sea, the humidity in the air and the life and individuality of each of the inhabitants on the small island.
		Maigret is in for more than he bargained for, as he encounters rich American expatriates, dangerous foreigners and their hidden motives.

		You are the flesh and bones of Maigret!" Recalled Davies.
		Davies was keen to break away from the terminal (in career terms) type-casting that his three-year stint on the show had brought him, claiming that he felt as though it had made him a prisoner for the second time in his life.
		Maigret's striking of a match on a wall not only represented the light of justice being brought to bear on the darkness of crime, but for millions of avid television viewers in the sixties, it also gave the promise of superlative BBC produced crime drama of the highest order.

		Maigret is a bit of a plodder, under-estimated by his peers but then surprising them with his results, a possible reflection of the inferiorities Simenon felt as a son pushed away by his mother and then a Belgian living in France.
		Maigret's age when he first appeared in the fiction - in the late 1920s - is also significant.
		Jules Maigret was born aged 45, the birthday Simenon's father had failed to reach.

	Simenon's Inspector Maigret
		The Maigret stories are unlike any other detective stories — the crime and the details of unraveling it are often less central to our interest than Maigret's journey through the discovery of the cast of characters...
		Simenon was born and raised in Belgium, and while Paris was "the city" for him, the home of Maigret, he was 'an international,' a world traveler who moved often and lived for many years in France, the United States, and Switzerland.
		Because Simenon lived to be nearly 90, and left a legacy of hundreds of books — from which more than 50 films have been made, along with hundreds of television episodes — there is much to collect, to examine, to display and discuss.

		Maigret is curious as to why Cavre has journeyed to the same village as himself, and for a while Maigret and Cavre seem to be playing a cat and mouse game as later they interview, independently, various people in the village.
		Maigret is met at the station by Étienne Naud who invites him to be a guest at his home, and almost at once Maigret senses the ponderous atmosphere that seems to envelope the household.
		Maigret is a little the same, it seems to me. He loves to just drift along, talking and listening and sniffing the air, arrosé (what a wonderful word!) by constant drinks of one alcohol or another.

	Needcoffee.com DVD Review: The Maigret Collection (1991)
		The character of Maigret is interesting, and quite well-acted by Michael Gambon, better known for his more Shakespearean roles and such art films as The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover.
		Maigret is as intelligent and savvy as you would expect, but he is also compassionate--the sort of man you hope really is in charge of the police force.
		Maigret is wonderful; she brings a warmth and humor to a role that could otherwise have been a mere throwaway, or at least much more irritating.

		Clifford Norgate's mastery at capturing Maigret, his associates, and the contemptuous suspects encountered throughout the story is outstanding.

		Intuitive, intelligent and creative with a genuis for human nature, Maigret satisfies the mystery lover like no other detective as he cunningly investigates crime and the human psyche.
		Not having seen the older Rupert Davies series of Maigret, I found Michael Gambon's version of the detective to be wonderfully faithful to the Simmenon books.
		Maigret is unlike so many other fictional detectives, such as Holmes and Poirot, in that he seems so much more real - a sensitive human being with worries about his own faults.
