Jarrett

About This Movie

So, 'Jarrett' is this curious little TV movie from '73, diving into the world of fine arts and the murky underbelly of rare artifacts. The pacing is a bit slow, but it builds a nice tension, really capturing that gritty investigator vibe. The tone is heavy with intrigue, and the performances, while not overly dramatic, feel grounded and believable. It’s not flashy, but there's something about its commitment to the subject matter that stands out. The practical effects are minimal, which keeps the focus on the storytelling and the investigator's journey. Quite a unique piece, if you're into the niche of art crime dramas, I’d say it’s worth a look.

'Jarrett' has a somewhat limited release history, primarily circulating on old VHS tapes, which makes it a bit harder to find in good condition. The scarcity of this title among collectors adds an interesting layer to its allure, as many appreciate its unique take on art crime. While it might not be on the radar for everyone, those who delve into the world of television movie history often come across it and recognize its distinctive charm.
