Das indische Grabmal (1959)



In this continuation of Der Tiger von Eschnapur the fleeing lovers are captured and become pawns in a conspiracy to dethrone the Maharaja.

As with the first feature this otherwise unrealistic, routine pulp adventure is saved by excellent production and some memorable and at times nearly surreal setpieces.

Maltin**1/2: "The pace picks up a bit in this second feature of Lang's Indian dyptich...Paget's exotic dance is a highlight."
