Writing to you about Elsie and Doris Waters (Letters, May 18) brought their brother, Jack Warner, to mind.
Jack became famous playing Britain's best-loved policeman, Constable George Dixon in Dixon Of Dock Green on television. Early in 1962, it was announced Jack Warner was coming to Brighton to make his last film, a murder mystery called Jigsaw.
He played the leader, as a detective inspector now, of a murder hunt triggered by the discovery of a headless body in an old trunk.
Director Val Guest used as many local people as possible as extras and many well-known businesses and tradesmen were recruited.
Milkman Eric Shires repeatedly delivered a couple of pints of milk for the cameras' benefit and it took more than an hour before the right footage was "in the can".
I found it very exciting to become "a star for a day" and I remember the adrenalin rush as I put everything I could into my role as a waiting passenger as the train steamed in and Jack Warner stepped down on to the platform.
I wonder how many extras on the film share my happy memories.
-Michael Parker, Brighton
