Review of Jigsaw

Jigsaw (1962)
9/10
Brilliant Thriller
11 April 2012
Warning: Spoilers
I bought this film on E bay a couple of months ago but never got around to watching it until last night, wished I had watched it sooner and I will again before long.

Firstly I should say that the copy I have is not brilliant but I can follow the dialogue easily enough.

The film is set in Brighton, it is a murder mystery with Jack Warner excelling as the Inspector and Ronald Lewis as his Seargeant, seeking to track down the monster who mutilated a young woman. Great part played by Michael Goodliffe as the charming ladies man.

Great pictures of Brighton in the sixties, I especially enjoyed the bit when Jack Warner missed the football match he was so looking forward to so he could investigate the crime, it turned out his local team got hammered!

Great unexpected ending but a word of warning don't look at the IMDb cast list or it will give the game away.

Highly enjoyable little known British thriller.
