Airdate: Maigret in Montmartre

The latest Rowan Atkinson detective telemovie, Maigret in Montmartre, screens tomorrow on BBC First.

Joining him are Shaun Dingwall, Lucy Cohu, Kevin McNally, Tom Wlaschiha & Mia Jexen.

This aired in the UK in December.

Rowan Atkinson returns as legendary French detective Jules Maigret for this gripping crime story set in 1950s Paris.

In Maigret in Montmartre, Maigret investigates the random murders of a Countess and a Showgirl and discovers a dark secret that links their past lives at the Grand Hotel in Nice.

Arlette, a beguiling showgirl from a seedy club in Montmartre, arrives at the Quai des Orfevres late one night drunk and claiming she has overheard two men discussing the murder of a Countess whilst she was performing. The next morning, news arrives that Arlette has been found murdered in her apartment.

Beautifully directed and featuring an excellent returning cast, this film brings one more of Georges Simenon’s bestselling novels to the screens.
