Take a peek at this nifty poster I just got from Ebay! It's for an American release of two of the great director Fritz Lang's last films. They were released in Europe as two movies called The Tiger of Eschnapur and The Indian Tomb, or Der Tiger von Eschnapur und Das Indische Grabmal. Both of them star Debra Paget and a bunch of German or European actors. They're basically juvenile adventure stories, with things like cobras and maharajahs. The only thing that makes them 'adult' is Debra's hotsie-totsie dance, which you can see below. Other than that, they're basically like a Tintin comic. The films are a remake of a silent epic written by Lang and his then-wife Thea von Harbou, but not directed by him. Lang would direct one more film The 1000 Eyes of Dr. Mabuse, and then retire to tell the same anecdotes over and over to interviewers and film students.
