Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA rather strong hint when this plot was taking place is shown around 34 minutes, where Maigret has a newspaper "Le Monde" placed on top of what looks like a calendar. You can only see a mirror image of writing through the paper that is turned and it states Octobre 1955.
- GoofsCarl and Else Anderson are arrested after arriving by train in Paris at the Gare D'Orsay. The Gare D'Orsay was closed in 1939. However, the story was published in 1931. Having a Jewish jeweller operating in an established Jewish quarter of Antwerp, including Hasidic elements of its population, would simply not have been possible in the early post-war era. Some of the clothing styles and the motor vehicles may be post-war, in which case the depiction of period is ambiguous.

Featured review
Stunning portrayal of a great detective
First off, I must say that I've been an avid fan of British television detectives for many years .. starting with the wondrous (Granada Television) Sherlock Holmes mysteries. As I watched Rowan Atkinson in this episode of the new Maigret series, I was brought back to those days. Though the mysteries take place in Paris, and Maigret is French, I personally have no qualms about the production. To be honest, the thing that irritates me about the great Poirot series with David Suchet, is the fact that his accent is so thick, I cannot understand the dialogue sometimes. With this series, I don't have this problem whatsoever, and that is refreshing. The direction of these Maigret episodes is quite superb, and I quickly become absorbed into the story lines. More than anything else, I am most impressed with the casting of Rowan Atkinson as the lead. As a dramatic actor, his portrayal of Maigret is stunning. His steadfast calm, and confidence in good old-fashioned police work knits the cast together in each episode. He trusts no one, and lets the evidence lead where it leads. This "Crossroads" episode is the best so far, and I am really hoping they continue more of them. I'll be waiting with a bowl of buttered popcorn, knowing I won't be disappointed in any part of the show. Great stuff indeed !! .
