The Sleeping Tiger plot
Young street robber Frank Clemmons tries to rob a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist, Dr. Clive Esmond, convinces the court to take Frank into his home for six months for therapy, instead of sending Frank to prison. Clive turns out to have a young woman in the house (Glenda Esmond), who is quite bored. The very good relationship between Frank and his young wife Glenda pleases Clive less and less, partly because his Glenda is in danger of losing control of itself.

Good film about a psychiatrist who takes in a criminal to cure him. The underlying relationships between the three main characters provide sufficient tension and are well developed. This entertaining psychological thriller certainly doesn't last too long.
