回复 :本片将视角对准20世纪初，以当时欧洲社会的变化为背景。一对孪生姐妹出世后就分道扬镳，后来一个成了勾引富有男人的名媛，另一个则是身绑炸药从事恐怖活动的无政府主义者。两人不知情上了同一趟东方快车，并且跟同一个男人发生关系。当她俩终于面对面时，她们均摆脱了先前的习性，成了真正的独立女性。
回复 :The direction of The Sleeping Tiger was credited to Victor Hanbury, but this was actually a pseudonym for the blacklisted Joseph Losey, whose first British film this was. Alexander Knox stars as psychiatrist Clive Esmond, who believes that he can stem the criminal tendencies of young fugitive from justice Frank Clements (Dirk Bogarde). To this end, Esmond hides Clements in his own home. At first hostile towards the handsome crook, Esmond's wife Glenda (Alexis Smith) gradually warms up to her house guest, and before long she and Clements are casting lustful glances at one another. She intends to run off with Clements and make a new life for herself, when suddenly he decides that he actually wants to reform. If nothing else, The Sleeping Tiger is a fascinating precursor to the sexual tensions prevalent in Losey's later Harold Pinter adaptations. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
