Maigret: Die Falle / Ein toter Mann

Maigret Sets a Trap, the first of the two films set in summer of 1955, finds Paris in the grip of both sweltering heat and terror on the streets. Four women have been murdered in Montmartre, with no apparent connection between the victims. Chief Inspector Maigret comes under huge pressure from the public and his superiors to apprehend the killer before he can strike again.

The second film “Maigret's Dead Man” is based on “Maigret et son mort.” Police commissioner Jules Maigret plunges into the murky Parisian underworld.
