The Indian Tomb

A bit better than "The Tiger of Eschnapur," which should definitely be watched first, though it still contains similar flaws. Being essentially the second half of a film, however, allows it to have more action and a satisfying conclusion. Debra Paget's dances in this are also even more enticing.

Pretty much more of the same. A little more action, although that has the side effect of making the slow parts more noticeable. Like the half hour when our hero disappears... though that half hour also includes Debra Paget in that hubba-hubba snake charmer outfit, so all is forgiven. Plotwise it's a bit more satisfying than part one, but also less striking in its cinematography, since so much of it occurs in murky caves. It's completely weird to hear Indians talking German all the time.

Good continuation of The Tiger of Eschnapur.

So stupid.

The second (very slightly better) half of Lang's Indian adventure, after The Tiger of Eschnapur, it has some similar problems to the first in regards to cultural insensitivity, etc, typical of the time. The Debra Paget barely clothed dance for a snake is sensual when the camera is on her and hilarious when it cuts to the snake. The action sequences are surprisingly amateurishly done. Hubschmid, the lead in the first movie, is in this one much less. Sets, etc, stand out more than anything again.
