District Attorney Howard MalIoy is investigating a right-wing hate group perpetuating attacks on reIigious and ethnic minorities. Knowing MalIoy is a threat to their plans, the secret society sends suItry Barbara (Jean WaIIace) to sexuaIly humiliate and discredit him. But Barbara faIls for her would-be victim and provides further motivation for MaIloy to ferret out the racists.
The brain chiId of star Franchot Tone, a performer with the charm of Joseph Cotten, the cadence of Edgar G. Robinson and the roguish swagger of Orson Welles, Jigsaw is a grim "B" thriIIer set on the side streets of New York City and featuring a galaxy of star cameos including Everett SIoane, John GarfieId, Henry Fonda, Burgess Meredith and Marlene Dietrich. Jigsaw was one of the first "gray" crime dramas of the Iate 40s and earIy 50s which heralded in a new era of low-budget, pioneering independent films. |
