Watched all 4 parts of "Maigret" with Rowan Atkinson in the main role.

It's a 2016-2017 mini-series and I didn't know (until now) they exist! All parts are quite good, R.A. is not Mr. Bean or Johnny English, but a real dramatic character. All the movies are filmed in Budapest instead of Paris and the atmosphere is uniquely true to the historical time (after WWII, late 40s-early 50s).
What was more interesting for me was that without being a real "film noir" of the French cinema from that period, the movie uses perfectly the language of the old fashioned French detective/flick movies. It doesn't copy the style, it is in the same style. And BTW Mme Maigret (Lucy Cohu) is one of those sexy, lovable and supporting wives who may not exist in the reality.

The original showing was color but I have seen B/W prints on late night movies, however this one was original color. Today, it would have to be A.I. because of the great many horse and camel charges not to mention a couple thousand native infantry with spears and shields.
