Le Chien jaune
1932 Crime / Thriller
Review
Two other Maigret films were made in the same year, each with different actors playing
the role of the pipe-smoking sleuth. Shortly, after Le Chien jaune, Pierre
Renoir took the part of Maigret in Jean Renoir’s La
Nuit carrefour (1932). Then, in Julien Duvivier’s La
Tête d’un homme (1933), the sublime Harry Baur showed his well-meaning predecessors
how the part of Maigret should have been played. Since then, the great detective
has been portrayed by well over a dozen actors in numerous film and television adaptations.
