About The Jigsaw Man
Philip Kimberly, the former head of the British Secret Service who defected to Russia, is given plastic surgery and sent back to Britain by the KGB to retrieve some vital documents. With the documents in hand, he instead plays off MI6 and the KGB against each other.
Directed by Terence Young, The Jigsaw Man leans on a strong ensemble — Michael Caine, Laurence Olivier, Susan George — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 1983.
