He Who Rides a Tiger is a 1965 British crime drama directed by Charles Crichton, and starring Tom Bell and Judi Dench. [2] [3]
The film was based on the real-life cat-burglar Peter Scott. [4] The title was derived from the Indian proverb, "He who rides a tiger can never jump off," and implies that the main character cannot escape from his way of life.
Crichton called making the film "a bad experience" because "the producer was a shit, a cheat and a bastard." [5] He did not direct another theatrical film until A Fish Called Wanda (1988), his last film overall.
