.....when there was only one channel .......
Commissioner Maigret is sent to Antibes to elucidate the murder of William Brown, a rich Australian who regularly disappeared to indulge in tremendous drinking binges. Following in his footsteps, Maigret tours the bars until he discovers the Liberty Bar, its welcoming patroness La Grosse Jaja and its ambiguous clientele. This is undoubtedly where the key to the murder lies...
It was the first time Commissaire Maigret had appeared in a MTV work ,and would not be the last ; of course he was often portrayed on the silver screen before,notably by Jean Gabin.
Louis Arbessier,essentially a stage actor ,does a good job ,but the stand out is Mathilde Casadessus is the thankless part of an alcoholic fat woman with a heart condition,la grosse Jaja .
