The Tiger of Eschnapur

1959

The Tiger of Eschnapur is a 1959 adventure film directed by Fritz Lang. It is the first of two films comprising what has come to be known as Fritz Lang's Indian Epic, the other is The Indian Tomb (1959). Lang returned to Germany to direct these films, which together tell the story of a German architect, the Indian maharaja for whom he is supposed to build schools and hospitals, and the dancer who comes between them.
