Jigsaw (1962 Val Guest & scr)

Adaptation of Hillary Waugh's detective fiction 'Sleep Long My Love' (1959), which in turn had echoes of real life murder cases from Brighton involving disembodied murder victims. It's shot very dry, like a documentary in widescreen, with no music, and most of the members of the general public involved are bad-tempered and unhelpful. With Jack Warner, Roland Lewis and Yolande Donlan. Shot by Hammer's Arthur Grant (who appears to be playing with a new zoom lens).
