Dark psychology

Warning: Spoilers
THE SLEEPING TIGER is another vehicle for dark star Dirk Bogarde, who once again plays a ne'er-do-well character who proves irresistable to straight-laced women of the era. He finds himself holed up at the home of a psychiatrist and his frustrated wife, the latter with whom he begins the usual torrid affair. This film goes down the psychological path, which means there's little in the way of incident to enjoy, just the usual character "insights" and heated dialogue. The performances are fine, but I found the script a little lacklustre and drawn-out, taking ages to get to the admittedly impressive climax.
