The Sleeping Tiger (1954 Noir-Thriller) with Dirk Bogarde | Directed by Joseph Losey

To those concerned about the 'premise' of the film - it's a film. It's entertainment. Nothing to worry about, so chill 😊 Compared to todays rubbish it's a masterpiece 😂

Yes, @JJMedusa. Yes,,,, they are the best.! I love them, mainly the British ones!!!!! 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎵

@@JJMedusa i agree! i have been in love with them forever, but today even more, because it is a little escape from these crazy wicked times...

[@apro109]

Once you accept the premise that's arguably somewhat implausible by today's standards, this film really delivers in every category. Tight script, strong performances, taut direction, good score. And a quality upload, too---thanks!

[@Faffy58]

Excellent film. Love young Dirk Bogarde.

[@TheDubOrange]

fantastic movie! great actors, camera etc. a real pearl, love it! thank you for this!

It’s one thing to let a criminal live in your house like a member of the family; it’s quite another when it’s Dirk Bogarde! 😉

Спасибо. Дирк Богарт великолепен. Фильмы старые очень люблю. И хорошие титры. За это отдельное спасибо.

[@sergeytovkusha3675]

пока вы читаете титры, вы не видите игру актёров. Я начала смотреть здесь, но продолжила и закончила в интернете(Google☺️), именно из-за титров. Жаль, что фильм не переведён и не озвучен на русский. ps, коробит игра актёров: нарочитая и театральная, впрочем типичная для того времени. у богарта была пара неплохо сыгранных сцен, но и они отдают дешёвой театральностью и запахом нафталина(символ заскорузлости, замшелости и старья). А на миссис нашу Smith вообще без слёз не взглянешь. извиняюсь, ничего личного

[@sergeytovkusha3675]

хотя к богарду есть предубеждение: не понимаю, в чём его величие

[@svetlanagorshkova7381]

@sergeytovkusha3675 я этот фильм видела , поэтому титры мне не мешали. Рекомендую "Слуга" и "Ночной портье". Второй фильм очень тяжёлый, но я то с уважением отношусь к Д.Богарту

[@markrankin6715]

The basic premise of this story is crazy. As if a comfortable upper middle class couple would let a criminal live in their house as a " guest " - disturbing their staff and behaving with overbearing rudeness to the wife ! It's just not credible...

[@None-zc5vg]

...and the bored wife falls for the 'viĺlain'.

[@justint8635]

It's not that far fetched. A gullible workaholic wanting to make a name for himself and make his mark in his field of psychotherapy. Both husband and wife are terribly bored in their own ways.

[@justint8635]

​@@None-zc5vgof course she falls for the villain. She ends up being neglected by her husband constantly and he basically pushes her into his arms. The villain shows her more charm and more attention. Did you not watch this movie? It ain't rocket science.

[@MirkaZemanova]

@justint8635 And of course the film ends with HER death. The psychotherapist has solved his case, the criminal had free lodging and board for months AND a mistress. And now, redeemed by his psychotherapist friend, he has such a bond with him that he needs to go back to help him, hence he abandons the mistress - all the while neglected by her husband - the second time. How typical for the times! Very good acting, though. I enjoyed Bogarde's performance, against my expectations. And I loved Hugh Griffith's police inspector, inspecting the Miró print in the house suspiciously. :-)

[@virginiavenetiou6574]

Πολύ δυνατό ψυχολογικό θρίλερ!! Perfect!!😮😮😢😢

[@YoBro-np7xt]

Actually, fake plot! The sleeping Tiger was the Psych, knowing how to ditch his pretentious, greedy, boring wife without being obvious. Just ignore her and concentrate on work, and then invite a very handsome crook to live in a great house with her! So, he killed his wife and he gets all the sympathy. Dude should have been awarded the bachelor of the year award! No cop investigation, where usually the husband is suspect #1!! No alimony, no divorce settlement. Settle down with the maid. He didn't go to college for nothin'!! --- and Dirk. What an amazing skilled actor!

[@Clarice-e6g]

Love it.

[@harmoniabalanza]

she wasn't the maid. She was his nurse/assistant. You miss the whole point of this--it's about money, vanity, idleness, self-indulgence, weak character, and lust. Pretty much all the sins...It's a cautionary tale.

[@YoBro-np7xt]

[@markbayer1573]

Thoroughly despicable characters in a ridiculous movie operating on an incredibly unbelievable premise. I'm about as liberal as it gets on many matters (and getting more so all the time) but the concept of the utterly deluded doctor taking in the criminal who holds him up, WITH COMPLETE FREEDOM TO DO WHATEVER HE LIKES and without thinking about or even consulting his wife (or, for that matter, considering the safety of his maid OR his dog) is so wrong-headed that I almost don't blame her for her loathsome, unfaithful actions. (Note I said ALMOST.) Then there's the ending, which is so shrill and melodramatic it makes silent movies look sophisticated and restrained. People inclined to be charitable may want to regard this as Dirk Bogarde's (who exudes utter creepiness more than almost any actor I know, even in Doctor in the House) and director Joseph Losey's (working here under a pseudonym, understandably) warmup for their dark 1963 collaboration with Harold Pinter, The Servant. I'd prefer to label it a predecessor to those "(Fill-in-the-blank) from Hell" movies (Fatal Attraction, The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, Pacific Heights, etc.) that were all the rage in the 1980s and 90s... except that, for all their flaws, ANY of them is vastly preferable to this thing! 1/10.

[@fredneecher1746]

[@enginkemal7398]

...so you didn't like the film then?

[@Cobbmtngirl]

11:19 “Your an American aren’t you?” “Yes & you’re a little Caesar” Nope, that’s not what her lips said, not Caesar! Can’t quite get what she actually said. Anyone else?? 48:25 I don’t get it. Why is she so upset after losing the cops?! An odd movie but it does hook you. Thanks.

[@rescuepetsrule6842]

If I were dumb enough to let a bad guy live with me, Dirk would be a great choice-lol. I used to see girls in school go crazy over some "bad boy" and end up in trouble. The a rich girls that acted like snobs and usually looked down on 'thugs' were the wildest when they finally found their bad boy. More repressed, I suppose. TY- good post!

[@lorrainedalgleish7616]

I wonder if this film was Joe Orton's inspiration for the later, much naughtier " Entertaining Mr. Sloane " ? Maybe, pre swinging 60s, the idea of a menage trois or voyeurisim could only be hinted at. The premise that the husband is as sexually interested in the young man as the wife makes the film believable. Anyway the husband comes across as creepy and manipulative. A typical shrink.

[@Jasper7182009]

This looks like a very good movie but I had to stop at 15 minutes27 seconds. I cannot take situations like this - 15:27 someone terrorizes a woman or someone who’s weaker or an innocent. But Alexis Smith certainly became a very good actress. And she’s quite striking in this role. And Dirk Bogarde is Dirk Bogarde. We’ve seen this character before portrayed by him.

Why is it subtitled?

[@MeedoMashakeil]

Amazing movie, the only downside is the background music, they were obviously careless about the effect of the music element they would just pick any piece and let it play loud even in scenes with dialogues, let alone the final scene and the irrelevant music in the background. Hadn't been a good story and great acting, I wouldn't watch it till the end because of the super annoying music.
