豆知識

Jigsaw is a 1962 British black and white crime film directed by Val Guest and starring Jack Warner and Ronald Lewis. The screenplay was by Guest based on the 1959 police procedural novel Sleep Long, My Love by Hillary Waugh, with the setting changed from the fictional small town of Stockford, Connecticut, to Brighton, Sussex, while retaining the names and basic natures of its two police protagonists and most of the other characters.

Production

Guest said "I was very keen to do Jigsaw because I liked the story enormously and thought it was very clever and very unusual, to show the police working and not getting anywhere. The awful dead ends they come up against which is what that picture shows." The film was one of his favourites.

Guest had previously used Ronald Lewis in The Full Treatment.

It was filmed with the cooperation of the Brighton Borough Police, which was under the shadow of a major corruption scandal, and the East Sussex Constabulary. At the time of the production, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, asked the director what he was currently doing, and Guest replied that he was working on a murder mystery with the Brighton police. The Duke said that sounded "bloody boring".
