Maigret in Montmartre Movie Plot
Maigret in Mortmartre movie follows maigret as he begins to investigate Arlette. Arlette, a beguiling showgirl from a seedy club in Montmartre arrives at the Quai des Orfevres late one night drunk and claiming she has overheard two men discussing the murder of a Countess whilst she was performing.
During initial questioning Arlette is prickly and then overcome with tiredness, she insists on lying down to sleep. Left alone, sometime later she suddenly wakes terrified and screaming the name “Oscar”.
As Maigret tries to dig a little deeper asking if Oscar is one of the men intending to kill. But Arlette becomes increasingly defensive and suddenly rushes from the building.
The next morning news arrives that Arlette has been found murdered in her apartment. Maigret learns from Coroner Dr Paul that Arlette was strangled by a strong man. Her identity papers are forged and Maigret suspects Arlette had a reason to hide her past.
Arriving at the scene, young inspector La Pointe is rendered unaccountably speechless at the sight of the girl. He hurriedly excuses himself and leaves the apartment. Annoyed with himself for failing to appreciate the depth of Arlette’s troubles, back at the Quai Maigret vows to catch the killer.
But he is interrupted by news that a Countess has also been found strangled in a similar manner.
It’s a squalid scene and clear the Countess was heavily dependent on morphine. But what’s left of the Countess’s valuables have been left untouched and a tiara found on the stairs suggest that the killer wasn’t after her money.
