  • A timid suburban husband tells Maigret that his domineering, openly faithless wife is planning to murder him. But things are not what they seem...

    This account of marital hell in the suburbs is made all the more pointed by the fact that Peter Copley and Pamela Brown, playing the unhappy couple, had actually been married - and divorced - in real life. It was a rare thing indeed to see an aggressively liberated woman depicted on British television in 1960, and Pamela Brown did a fine job as the tough housewife who seems so unpleasant, but who, in the end, is shown to be reacting against a suffocating form of bourgeois sterility. She may not be "a nice person", but the twist in this story's tale hints that we would be unwise to judge her. Maigret isn't judgmental - which is why he solves the mystery.moreless
