The Tiger of Eschnapur

It's bit hard to get past some of the cultural insensitivity, but this really is an enjoyable adventure film. The characters really grow on on you and once you get to the cliffhanger ending you're hooked.

As a late Fritz Lang adventure tale, this fares a bit better than Moonfleet. The characters are more engaging, and although the adventure elements are sometimes a bit lackluster, there are a few great serials-inspired moments. Most noteworthy is the breathtaking eye candy. Lavish sets and lush colors that leap off the screen, it's quite a beautiful film. However, the exoticism is often cringe-worthy, as Lang indulges in one embarrassing India cliché after another.

The first half of a fun adventure epic. Culturally dated (a lot of Indian cliches, a ton of white people playing Indian characters) and not all the substantial, but it's a fun watch and the sets and props and colors are a blast to see. Debra Paget is stunning in this. There are also a lot of tigers and the main character pointlessly throws his torch at his problems twice which is very funny both times.
