I admit the only reason I watched this curiosity was the presence of Robert Le Vigan as Michoux, one of the main characters. This is another in a long line of weirdo characters that Le Vigan played throughout the 1930's. The drunk in Les bas-fonds, the sinister teacher in Le petit Chose and many more are wonderful to watch today.
The story stumbles to its conclusion in only 68 minutes, which may be a blessing. The actor Tarride is really wooden, can hardly speak his lines understandably and is very tiresome to watch. Rosine Derean has some charm as the servant girl Emma. The sound track has an annoying whistle running through it. For Maigret completists only, all others should abstain.
