THE INDIAN TOMB (1959). This was the sequel to TIGER OF ESCHNAPUR, the first of the Fritz Lang "Indian Epics", but there is a brief prologue which will bring You up to speed. Taking place in India, the fiancee of a Maharaja runs off with a German architect. Both are caught and while the spurned ruler is planning to have his woman entombed, the architects relatives arrive to help him, while the brother of the ruler is planning a coup. It seems a lot to digest, but it's easy to follow the story and its quite rousing. In fact, it seems quite a bit of TIT was used for INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM. The only name performer I recognize is Debra Paget; while she really doesn't look East Indian, she is quite appealing, especially in one scene that I'm amazed wasn't cut out, especially in this country. She performs a "Snake Dance" with the most bogus cobra You will ever see, but she literally is wearing next to nothing and You can actually see her leg muscle ripple. Quite steamy stuff and on a fan forum, someone mentioned how She became a Born Again Christian in the early 60's, probably knowing she caused many viewers to engage in "sinful" acts. ***
