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."
Der Tiger von Eschnapur (1959)
A German architect arrives in India to meet with a Maharaja, for whom he will build schools and hospitals, and both men fall in love to the same temple dancer.
Although it's a pulp adventure with wooden performances, the production is lush and the director manages to create a dream-like fantasy world full of memorable visual impressions.
Maltin**: "Slow-moving, disappointing adventure romance of interest mostly for Lang's participation."
