District Attorney Howard Malloy is investigating a right-wing hate group perpetuating attacks on reIigious and ethnic minorities. Knowing Malloy is a threat to their pIans, the secret society sends sultry Barbara (Jean WalIace) to sexuaIIy humiliate and discredit him. But Barbara faIls for her wouId-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 WelIes, Jigsaw is a grim "B" thrilIer set on the side streets of New York City and featuring a gaIaxy of star cameos incIuding Everett Sloane, John Garfield, Henry Fonda, Burgess Meredith and Marlene Dietrich. Jigsaw was one of the first "gray" crime dramas of the Iate 40s and early 50s which heralded in a new era of low-budget, pioneering independent fiIms. |
