Description: Additional Information from Movie Mars Product Description Fritz Lang double-feature, including: THE TIGER OF ESCHNAPUR marked Fritz Lang's triumphant return to Germany after decades of exile in Hollywood, as well as a return to old-fashioned serial-influenced filmmaking. Fritz Lang created a sumptuous and exotic tale of danger and intrigue that harkens back to his own films of the 1920s and stands as a powerful legacy of contemporary action adventure films as well. Filmed on location in Germany and India, THE TIGER OF ESCHNAPUR presents a two-part spectacle relaying the intricate saga of Harold Berger, an architect who becomes smitten with Seetha, a beautiful temple dancer while on an assignment in mysterious India. Though she returns his love, she is forbidden to leave the palace, and the two must make a daring escape, raising the ire of the Maharaja. Filled with erotic rituals, dank dungeons, tigers, monsters, and Orientalism, THE TIGER OF BENGAL is a rich and romantic pageant, filmed in ecstatic colors and encompassing Lang's lifelong motifs of eroticism and crime, exotic locales and psychological drama as well as elaborately choreographed visual effects and aesthetic sensibilities. THE INDIAN TOMB: Completing one of Germany's finest adventure films of the 1950s, Fritz Lang's THE INDIAN TOMB picks up where THE TIGER OF ESCHNAPUR left off, with Berger the architect and Seetha the beautiful temple dancer, having barely escaped the wrath of the Indian Maharajah, now facing death from starvation in the desert. The two lovers are eventually dragged back to the Maharaja's temple, which is under attack from his various enemies. Enraged at Seetha's love for Berger, the foreign interloper, the Maharaja demands that she undergoes a dangerous and erotic ritual snake dance, but then intervenes at the last second and saves her life. Berger and Seetha face subterranean dungeons, snakes and tigers, the Maharaja's thugs, and the storming of the temple, all because of their forbidden love. One of Lang's final films, THE INDIAN TOMB is a compendium of motifs and concepts from his lifelong career in film, presenting a veritable feast of visual and narrative inventions, all in a form that Lang himself had perfected early in his career with such masterpieces as THE SPIDERS and SIEGFRIED.
