"The Tiger of Eschnapur"
1956
Directed by Fritz Lang

This exciting first of two adventure films set in India marked Fritz Lang's return to Germany. Berger, a young engineer, falls desperately in love with Seetha, a beautiful temple dancer coveted by the Maharaja, forcing Berger and Seetha to attempt to escape. While the exteriors were shot in India, the interiors were all studio sets, yet Lotte Eisner found the film was notable for its "formal perfection, the masterly use of decor and spatial structures." Based on a script written by Lang and Thea von Harbou in 1920. German no English subtitles. 101 minutes.
