Maigret and the Wine Merchant
Next Airdate: Wednesday August 25, 12:00 am
Episode Description: Upon leaving a hotel where he had spent the afternoon with his secretary, Oscar Chabut is murdered. As he questions the victim's family and many employees, Maigret discovers what kind of man he was. After a difficult start Chabut succeeded, thanks to persistent hard work, in setting up and managing a large and profitable business. In spite of this he remained shy and needy, in order to bolster his confidence, to dominate, denigrate and humiliate people. This explains his many short-lived affairs and the cynicism with which he eliminated his competitors. Naturally Maigret looks in both these directions and especially into the possible existence of jealous husbands who might have sought revenge. Directed by Christian de Chalonge, 2001, color. In French with English subtitles.
