The Sleeping Tiger is a 1954 British noir directed by Joseph Losey (under the credit of Victor Hanbury, due to his blacklisting in the McCarthy era). This was the first collaboration between Dirk Bogarde and Losey, marking the beginning of one of British cinema’s most important actor/director partnerships. The film also stars Alexis Smith and Alexander Knox.
