Another "Commissaire Maigret investigates" ,another Georges Simenon's book transferred to the screen.This one takes place in a chocolate box Britanny complete with folk costumes .The story is so slow it becomes dull and I must confess I had to watch the movie twice to be able to find some interest in the plot....which is not much anyway.Four men are in jeopardy for someone in the shadow wants to get rid of them ,one after the other.A subject that was much better applied on Lacombe's "le Dernier des Six" (from Simenon's compatriot ,Steeman). Whodunit is not really Simenon's forte and his characters are not strong enough to sustain interest throughout.
