Plot: Completing one of Germany's finest adventure films of the 1950s, Fritz Lang's THE INDIAN TOMB picks up where THE TIGER OF BENGAL left off, with Berger the architect and Seetha the beautiful temple dancer, having barely escaped the wrath of the Indian Maharajah, now facing death from starvation in the desert. The two lovers are eventually dragged back to the Maharaja's temple, which is under attack from his various enemies. Enraged at Seetha's love for Berger, the foreign interloper, the Maharaja demands that she undergoes a dangerous and erotic ritual snake dance, but then intervenes at the last second and saves her life. Berger and Seetha face subterranean dungeons, snakes and tigers, the Maharaja's thugs, and the storming of the temple, all because of their forbidden love. One of Lang's final films, THE INDIAN TOMB is a compendium of motifs and concepts from his lifelong career in film, presenting a veritable feast of visual and narrative inventions, all in a form that Lang himself had perfected early in his career with such masterpieces as THE SPIDERS and SIEGFRIED.
