Jazz Crimes!

Below, see Dirk on the dance-floor in Losey’s SLEEPING TIGER. I think Losey was a bit of a jazz buff and the scenes in “The Metro” club in this film are among the most exciting — although, this being a sort of juvie delinquent flick, jazz and interracial leisure activities are given something of a taboo edge, seen as DANGEROUS, although obviously more exciting than the domestic goings on chez Alexander Knox.

All of which makes it nicely perverse and subversive – keywords for Losey.

I love the glide past the horn player, round and back, that starts this scene.
