Les Caves du Majestic (Majestic Hotel Cellars) is based on a novel by Georges Simenon. Albert Prejean stars as Simenon's fabled Parisian sleuth Inspector Maigret, here tackling the case of a murder in "high places." While the rest of police tread delicately, fearing reprisals from the wealthy people involved in the crime, Maigret carefully and dispassionately pieces the clues together and goes about his business. Ample comedy relief is provided by Charpin as a dry-witted judge and Gabriello as a corpulent hotel detective. Filmed in France during the Occupation, Les Caves du Majestic was released in the U.S. in 1945. Tellingly, scenes in the hotel's kitchens that seem to show pots and pans full of banquet fare were in reality only filled with boiling water due to war-time hardships.
