    2.0 out of 5 stars German audo and subtitles only!
    Reviewed in Canada on January 31, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    The two stars are to draw attention to the two blu rays having only German audio and subtitling, despite whatever else anyone might tell you. I enjoy these late Lang films, but not nearly as much as his return to Dr Mabuse a year or two later.

    The INDIAN TOMB / INDIAN TOMB

    Just finished watching Bob Mays' The Indian Tomb (silent 1921) & Fritz Lang's Indian Tomb (talkie 1960). These movies share the same storyline but are focused on the story in totally different, you may say opposite manners. I enjoyed both movies but tend to favor the silent because of my personal tendencies. Both casts are top rate. Both are wonderfully shot.

    The storyline is that of the clash of Indian culture versus Western culture set against the construction of a tomb for an Indian Princess that the Maharajah wants constructed to house the woman he loved. The silent focuses on the Indian cultural differences & seeks to unveil all that is different & unusual to the western viewer. It is backed up by a tale of love lost & the emotional reactions he goes through. Vengeance plays a strong role in this story. There is a story twist but it's revealed very quickly.

    The difficulties faced by the married English architect, his wife & the Maharaja's staff due to the total authority of the Maharaja along with the forced subservience of the palace staff is capably portrayed against the background of Indian culture as well as, one of the central themes of the silent, the Eastern mysticism of the Yogi. This mysticism is much more central in the silent than in the talkie. It is also one thing I enjoyed greatly & was surprised at the visuals accomplished in this 1921 film. The outcome is perhaps easily guessed at but the journey is not.

    The Fritz Lang (1960) version is much more centered on the love story. The sets & costuming are breathtaking. Perhaps the storyline is not as professionally polished but the change this movie makes in concept is well done. Here you get the fleshing out of the love between an Englishman & an Indian Princess. The life of the princess is more openly portrayed. Debra Paget as the princess is eye-popping both as an actress & a dancer. You'll not find a better serious combination of dance & costume than Fritz shows here. It may be my lack of Paget film experience, I knew she was a raving beauty & had no idea she could dance like this. I'll give a link to one of her dances at the end of this.

    I felt the Maharaja was well played in both, but once again, the silent is a stronger portrayal. The wife of the architect in the silent is of an intelligent, strong & resolute woman unusual for this 1921 time period (indeed even in 1960). The part of the Yogi is almost nonexistent in the 1960 version & that loss plays a great deal into my preference for the 1921 silent. There are many wonderful characters in both movies & I suggest that if you are interested in this kind of show then you should skip neither. The inter-cards on the silent are excellent & you don't feel you miss the conversation after reading them. As always the silent acting is more emotive to make up for the lack of talking.

    Had I a great magic wand to create movies with, I would combine the themes of these two movies & create a 5 to 6 hour epic using both the revelation of Indian culture & mysticism & the expansion of the love story & dancer's life. Since you don't get this unless you watch both movies I'll give each 4 鶹 Stars with my personal preferential nod to the silent.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sehenswert und spannend.

    Schön gemachter alter Film in zwei Teilen, der geschickt mit kulturellen Gegensätzen Spannung aufbaut und der damit den Zuschauer bis zum Ende in seinen Bann ziehen kann. So hat man damals erfolgreiche Filme gemacht! Die Blu-ray
    bietet auf meinem Spieler und TV einwandfreie Bild- und Tonqualität, so dass die gut durchdachte Geschichte eine Kaufempfehlung sicher wert ist.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Der Tiger von Eschnapur / Das indische Grabmal
    Reviewed in Germany on June 13, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    Fritz Lang war als Wegbereiter des deutschen Kinos bekannt, mit Filmen wie "Metropolis" und "Die Nibelungen" u.v.a. Diese beiden Filme, nämlich "Der Tiger von Eschnapur" und "Das indische Grabmal", drehte er am Ende seiner Schaffenszeit und nannte sie selbstkritisch "Der Tiger von Dextropur" und "Das kindische Grabmal". Nein, so schlimm sind sie wirklich nicht. Ganz ihm Gegenteil: Spannend und mit vorzüglichen Schauspielern wie Paul Hubschmid und Debra Paget besetzt. Dazu Szenen aus der Lepra-Höhle, die mir als Kind eine Heidenangst einjagten, vor allem der skelettierte Wächter am Eingang. Auch heute noch läuft mir dabei ein Schauder über den Rücken. So muss Kino sein: mit hellen, aber auch dunklen Seiten.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Yes, beautiful, but with one regrettable fault
    Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2008
    Verified Purchase
    This boxed set of DVDs does make a handsome package. However there is one fault which previous reviewers have missed. As they note, the color is vivid and the image is exceptionally sharp and clean. What a pity, then, that the film transfer colorist failed to note that many scenes are supposed to take place at night! These night scenes, with exteriors shot in the day-for-night mode, are all rendered in the bright colors of daylight. The error is in the timing of the film-to-tape transfer. It could have been fixed. Too bad!! In all other ways, this is an exceptional package.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Debra's Dance is Dazzling!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2009

    Lang's penultimate film[s] is not his best effort, but this DVD does it justice with its brilliant color and sharp image. The single best scene is Debra Paget's near-nude dance in the second film. In my opinion, she was hotter than Marilyn Monroe and should have been better known back in the 50s. Originally a dancer, she showed she could act in a number of 50s releases. A must for Paget fans.
