The Curse Of The Jade Scorpion Movie Synopsis
Set in the 1940s, CW Briggs (Allen) is the top insurance investigator in
New York (at least the new efficiency expert (Hunt) thinks so). Briggs
believes he can crack any insurance case by getting into the mind of the
thief.
But when a burglar gets away with a trinket called the Jade
Scorpion and discovers it possesses hypnotic powers, the thief gains
the ability to get into Briggs' mind.
A great comedy for Woody Allen fans. It`s got his brand of humour all throughout. Nice setting for the movie as well. I felt submersed in the era. Good performance by Helen Hunt.
