Plot: THE TIGER OF BENGAL marked Fritz Lang's triumphant return to Germany after decades of exile in Hollywood, as well as a return to old-fashioned serial-influenced filmmaking. Fritz Lang created a sumptuous and exotic tale of danger and intrigue that harkens back to his own films of the 1920s and stands as a powerful legacy of contemporary action adventure films as well. Filmed on location in Germany and India, THE TIGER OF BENGAL presents a two-part spectacle relaying the intricate saga of Harold Berger, an architect who becomes smitten with Seetha, a beautiful temple dancer while on an assignment in mysterious India. Though she returns his love, she is forbidden to leave the palace, and the two must make a daring escape, raising the ire of the Maharaja. Filled with erotic rituals, dank dungeons, tigers, monsters, and Orientalism, THE TIGER OF BENGAL is a rich and romantic pageant, filmed in ecstatic colors and encompassing Lang's lifelong motifs of eroticism and crime, exotic locales and psychological drama as well as elaborately choreographed visual effects and aesthetic sensibilities.
