Maigret is described as heavy set, so it will be interesting to see how Rowan plays it. In an earlier post I wrote about George Smiley in Tinker Tailor, a short character wonderfully portrayed by Alec Guinness, who isn't.
In the same post I also made rash comments about Judge Dredd and Batman. In order to clarify, im Dustjacket Towers the correct order of fictional detectives is as such;
- Maigret
- Joseph Dredd
- Batmam, joint tied with Jessica Fletcher (they both solve crime but are they not lights for the criminally minded moth?)
- Everyone else
Got it, good!
Thanks for the link James. I'm puzzled about Atkinson, but am sure he will inhabit the character if not exhibit the build! Re Smiley, how about Oldman's Smiley from the film? (I loved both).
