"Often it is not wise to remember.".......2006-03-05

The film noir "Jigsaw" from director Fletcher Markle starts off promisingly but the plot is confused and ultimately is a muddled disappointment. The film begins with a mysterious gunman who shots a publisher. When the police discover the gun in the publisher's hand, his death is ruled a suicide. Journalist Charles Riggs (Myron McCormick) recently questioned the publisher concerning his involvement with the mysterious underground extremist group, The Crusaders. Riggs is investigating the racist activities of the Crusaders and considers the death of the publisher as proof he's onto a hot story.

Assistant District Attorney Howard Malloy (Franchot Tone) discusses the Crusaders with Riggs and begins an investigation of his own. After Malloy meets Crusader Angelo Agostini (Marc Lawrence), he's on the fast track to success when he's magically promoted. He's soon inducted into New York society through the auspices of Mrs. Grace Hartley, the widow of a prominent judge. At one of her parties, he meets nightclub singer Barbara Whitfield (Jean Wallace--married to Franchot Tone at the time) and soon finds himself drawn into a web of intrigue and corruption.

"Jigsaw" has all too many threads that are never explored. While the plot goes through the motions, these threads are just left dangling. The result is an implausible, frustrating story, and that's really too bad. The film's moody tone is a perfect setting for Jean Wallace's excellent performance as prickly enigmatic femme fatale Barbara Whitfield. Noir fans (like me) will probably want to catch "Jigsaw" just because they can't help themselves, but it really leaves a lot to be desired. Rated a very weak three stars.

The Alpha DVD print also leaves a lot to be desired--white vertical lines thread through some scenes, the film skips in places, and there's a background cackle which becomes more noticeable upon occasion--displacedhuman

Jigsaw is an interesting film.......2006-02-04

This movie is a film noir classic It concerns a quest to find out who is behind a hate group which is run by murderers and power mongers. Franchot Tone is the Assistant District Attorney and Special Prosecutor who must do battle with these forces of evil.

The tone is dead serious about the dangers of prejudice and hate. There are some comments about the need for tolerance and understanding. Similar in a way to movies of the time, like "Crossfire" and "Home of the Brave", Jigsaw is an interesting movie. There are many twists and turns in the plot and the acting is good.

Winifred Lenihan (in her only movie performance) shines, as does Jean Wallace as the femme fatale. The print is murky, but the photography is good, with some unusual close-ups.

Jigsaw has a special treat for movie fans. There are cameos from Burgess Meredith, Henry Fonda, John Garfield, Marsha Hunt and Marlene Dietrich. They are lending themselves to the cause of anti-fascism, but they do it in a humorous way. Some of them mug towards the camera and it is fun to try to identify them. Jigsaw is a film noir with a different slant.

Pieces missing.......2004-11-22

JIGSAW has just enough going for it to merit recommendation, with emphasis on the word `just.' It's a ramshackle story of an assistant New York City district attorney (Franchot Tone) who's hot on the trail of the shadowy racist hate group, the Crusaders.
With low-key photography and acting, JIGSAW has a naturalistic look and feel to it. It's one of those late 40's gray city movies that included scenes taking place in real locations - real dirty city streets with real cats rummaging through overflowing trash cans.
There's a mystery behind the confused mystery the movie presents. While Tone's character is investigating what was then a stereotypical Communist group, JIGSAW includes a number of cameos by prominent stars, many of who were targeted by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) as belonging to subversive organizations prior to World War II. It was a time of loyalty oaths and black-listings, so perhaps the cameo stars appeared to indicate their opposition to such organizations as the Crusaders. Two of the cameo stars belonged to the Committee for the First Amendment, which publicly called for the abolishment of HUAC, so perhaps the "harmless lunatics" who support mob-run rackets like the Crusaders aren't Trotskyites after all. Considering the political manipulations this movie exposes, you might even interpret the Crusaders as a front for a HUAC-like politician.
Such is the sea this movie swims in. There's the Good Girl brunette and the Bad Girl Blonde, the political fixer and the exasperated boss. Standard stuff ably handled and nicely photographed. I won't spoil the surprise by naming any of the cameo stars, but the first one appears about 15 minutes into the movie.

This was the complete suck.......2004-10-12

I watch a lot of horror B movies, this was probably the worst one. The only good part in the movie was when they were showing shots from that other movie when the bartender was chilling out and eating a sandwich. "Die, evil sorceror." yeah that was the only cool part. No boobies= not a good movie. This was a poor piece of garbage, don't ever buy it. The 10 bucks that was spent on it was only good for the other trailers on it. That's it. It sucks. Period ----> .

Low budget, but high entertainment!.......2003-05-08

I really enjoyed this movie. The girls were hot. The story was interesting. The students of a college class puts together "Jigsaw," a mannequin that comes to life, and hacks them up to pieces. This isn't Shakespear. It's better!

horrendous.......2003-04-20

who cares if the actors are "fun"! the movie was absolutely horrible. and of course what do you come to expect from full moon pictures though? really not much! almost the whole movie takes place around a bar, eww how exciting, no its really not exciting. even though the concept seemed like it was going to be interesting the dialogue and story was poorly written so not much here except disappointment. very boring flick. wouldn't recommend this movie to my worst enemy.

I love this movie. it's so cool.......2003-02-04

Jigsaw is one of the coolest psychological thrillers ever. Most people will call it a horror movie, but it's more than that. It's not just a monster hacking away at horny teenagers. You get to know the characters very well and you actually care for most of them. I was at the world premeier and met all the actors. it was fun. I highly recomend you guys buy this movie. it rocks! Even though the horror and scary stuff dosn't happen until the last 35 minutes, it's still really good. The first half is also interesting. It explains the characters backrounds and such before they are set to slaughter, it's actually kind of intersting. My favorite character was Tawny, she was the cutest and the best. I hope she becomes famous one day.

Product Description

Australia released, PAL/Region 4 DVD: it WILL NOT play on standard US DVD player. You need multi-region PAL/NTSC DVD player to view it in USA/Canada. Languages: o English (Dolby Digital 2.0) Synopsis: This spy film purports to be inspired by the true story of Kim Philby (1912-1988), a British intelligence officer and Soviet spy during the 1940s and '50s who gained international notoriety when he blew his cover and defected to the USSR in 1963. But this fictional, unsophisticated, if not naive docudrama portrays a world of espionage in a cross between Nancy Drew and Sam Spade, and Philby's real story is buried in the process. The film opens with British double agent Philip Kimberly (Michael Caine) undergoing complete plastic surgery by order of his Soviet bosses, while his death is announced in the world press. With a different name and face, Kimberly -- now Kuzminsky -- is sent back to England in the guise of a Soviet citizen to retrieve a secret list of names he supposedly hid several years ago. Kusminsky/Kimberly defects at the British passport control, and later escapes his British guards -- leading to a manhunt by both British and Soviet agents. His chief nemesis is Admiral Scaith (Laurence Olivier) and the man he assigns to the case, Jaime Fraser (Robert Powell) -- who just happens to be living with Kimberly's daughter.
