The second half of a two-part film--Part One was titled The Tiger of Eschnapur--Das Indische Grabmal (
The Indian Tomb) and its predecessor were remakes of a two-parter directed in 1919 by
Joe May. American actress Kitty Jantzen plays Irene Traven, formerly the Maharini of the "lost" Indian city of Eschnapur. At great personal risk, Irene escapes her Maharaja husband (Fritz van Dongen), accompanying her European lover (Hans Stuwe) to Paris. But the Maharaja's reach extends far beyond Eschnapur, and Irene's troubles are far from over. Both Tiger of Eschnapur and Das Indische Grabmal were scripted by
Thea von Harbou, former wife of director
Fritz Lang. Not so coincidentally, both films were remade by Lang in 1958, then heavily re-edited and released in the US as a single feature titled Journey to the Lost City. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
