Good Movie...But Pathetically Poor Picture Quality

"I don't know how Alpha Home Entertainment could possibly release this DVD....they should be ashamed. Believe me, it's not the film that I dislike - I have it on a VHS copy and have viewed it numerous times - but the fact that they can release a DVD with a picture quality so disgustingly poor, I thought I would need eye glasses by the end of the movie. It may be in black and white but the colour is so faded and the scratched and semi-blurry picture quality so annoying, that I definitely recommend that no one purchases this DVD. I was hesitant in purchasing it in the first place as I've read bad reviews in regards to DVD's released by Alpha but, as I'm a huge Dirk Bogarde fan, I went ahead and stupidly made this purchase. Be warned - don't buy this DVD! (I have since acquired the "Dirk Bogarde Screen Icons Collection" and the film quality of The Sleeping Tiger in this collection is excellent in comparison to Alpha's atrocious release....give Alpha the flick and purchase this seven film collection instead....available at Amazon.co.uk)."
