Rowan Atkinson stars as detective Jules Maigret in these two gripping crime stories set in 1950s Paris, adapted from the books by Georges Simenon. In Maigret Sets a Trap, a serial killer is targeting women in the seedy district of Montmartre. With no leads and the newspapers rife with speculation, all focus is on Chief Superintendent Maigret. The second film, Maigret’s Dead Man, focuses on the murder of a gambler with connections to a brutal gang from Czechoslovakia.
