As a mute film enthusiast who has enjoyed the German 1921 still film “The Indian Tomb”, written by Fritz Lang and his then-wife Thea von Harbou, I was inspiring to gape this 1959 version of the same narrative, this time directed by Fritz Lang himself. Although the record is essentially the same and the characters and plots are recognizable, Fritz Lang obviously did a lot of re-writing of the old-fashioned 1921 screenplay to suit a powerful different 1959 audience, and I reflect he succeeded very well. While the modern 1921 film is 3 ½ hours long with a more complex and tainted location, the tale has been reworked into two separate films, namely “The Tiger of Eschnapur” and “The Indian Tomb”, and has all the hallmarks of a behind 1950s, early 60s adventure narrative. The quality of these two DVDs is simply apt, and visually the films are already a delight, being filmed on site in the region of Rajasthan, India – in particular the city of Udaipur, well-known for its graceful palaces which also featured in the James Bond classic, “Octopussy”. With real-life Mogul palaces and other striking Indian settings, Lang did not have to go to any mammoth lengths to originate a fantasy-like adventure world, not unlike modern-day Indiana Jones movies. Unlike Indiana Jones, however, the memoir in Lang’s Indian Fable is serious: savor, jealousy, revenge, intrigues in the royal family, schemes, lepers and a holy man with words of wisdom. The legend moves along at a comfortable, loyal trot with a ample measure of suspense and unexpected turns, along with a nice dose of exotic – and erotic – dancing by Debra Paget. And although false tigers are always mentioned in connection with “The Tiger of Eschnapur”, I would not have noticed if I hadn’t heard about it before, as there are plenty of gracious shots of precise, live tigers, and I don’t mediate a one or two second scene of a stuffed tiger or counterfeit cobra should destroy a viewer’s overall enjoyment of these two films.

While I would give the memoir and film quality a 4 ½ – star rating, I was so glad with this box region in general, the notes on each film inside, the bonus photo gallery and in particular the option of the English-dubbed or modern German version (with or without English subtitles) that I’m giving it the beefy 5 stars. For anyone who speaks German as I do, I’d like to point out that the German language spoken in these two films is absolutely top-class quality and a delight to hear. I’m determined anyone who enjoys 50s and 60s movies will be joyful by this box situation and the restored full-length versions of both films (they were previously released in a great condensed version entitled “Rush to the Lost City”) and for anyone who has enjoyed the peaceful 1921 version, this position would surely also be of interest to compare and have a nice change.
after watching all of fritz lang’s films, most of them in unlit and white, I found myself especially in horror of the color and detail in this dvd….yes, there are strong hints from metropolis: the leper’s come is similar to the movement of the deadly sins and there are complex tunnel passages in both films…as in rancho eminent, the site deals with dislike, execute and revenge; deception and fate also play their strong roles…but it’s the diagram this film looks visually–the colors, costumes, and architecture — that sets it apart from all the other lang films…it’s definitely worth viewing.
