(NOIR) Jigsaw - 1949 ***


'Jigsaw' isn't a bad film, but it has a lot of plot holes and inconsistency which made my head spin. Franchot Tone is great in noir usually, but seemed a bit weak here. The jigsaw refers to a murder at the beginning of the film that is initially labeled a suicide which then 'surprisingly' turns out to be a murder. Tone is the one who has to crack it, by infiltrating himself in with a crime boss known as 'Angel.'
Not one of the stronger noirs, but one that you should see nonetheless.
