Maigret: Maigret Sets a Trap (2016)
Nothing like the books
I enjoyed this series, but only after letting go of my expectations. This production bears little resemblance to the Maigret books. The plots are there, but not Maigret. The Gambon series is much closer to the spirit and feel of the books, but these are more modern: more gritty, dark, and violent.
Windjammer: The Voyage of the Christian Radich (1958)
I agree!
I must have been 5 years old when my German, sail-maker uncle took me to see this movie. I don't remember too many things from that age, but I remember this movie vividly.
As I remember it, it was shown in an enormous theatre... we had to travel some distance to get to where it was shown. I suppose it was similar to an IMAX film, now that I think about it.
I don't remember the plot, if there was one, just the breathtaking shots of a full-rigged ship sailing over the open ocean. Spectacular.
The film gave me a life long love of sailing (no doubt my uncle's 'hidden' agenda) and I've always wanted to see it again.
Oh well! A treasure lost!
