"Jigsaw"


'Jigsaw" was a 1962, British film based on the novel "Sleep Long,- My Love" by Hillary Waugh. It was directed by Val Guest and starred Jack Warner and Ronald Lewis as two Brighton detectives investigating the murder of a woman at Saltdean. The plot involves them methodically following up leads and clues, mostly in Brighton and Hove, which results in many fascinating glimpses of the 1960s local townscapes. It is also a taut, well-paced detective thriller typical of British films of that period. 
   
Copies up to now have been rare and fetched high-prices. But it is now being officially re-issued on DVD. It will be available at the beginning of December and can be pre-ordered from Amazon. Why not take a trip down memory lane?
