SLLEPING TIGER, THE(1954)
In the set: 100 Greatest Mystery Classics


This is an ugly little movie with a purpose
that's impossible to figure out! Stay away
at all costs!! D-

A review from IMDb.com:

Actually, this film isn't all bad. 'The Sleeping
Tiger' refers to Alexis Smith's bored doctor's
wife, who decides to throw herself at the bit
of rough from the criminal classes (Dirk Bogarde)
who her husband is hoping to rehabilitate. I
suppose Bogarde's Frank is a British equivalent
to the angry young men of Brando or Dean, but
being British he is just a bit too mannered
to be convincing.

Smith's descent into frustration and anger
after being rejected is unconvincing and done
too quickly, meaning that the end sequences
are rushed and unbelievable. Still, up to that
point, the film is not bad. The relationship
between Smith, Bogarde, and Smith's husband
(Alexander Knox), is played out well and the
film manages to be fairly engrossing and
somewhat ahead of its time. - didi-5
