The Indian Tomb

"The second part of director Fritz Lang's mythic adventure-fest (the first film being The Tiger of Eschnapur), The Indian Tomb is visually splendid and breathtaking to behold. For years the two films were only available in a horribly truncated version called Journey to the Lost City. But with the release of both films onto disc by Fantoma Films, a whole appraisal is warranted. Like the Eschnapur disc, the picture quality is marvelous and holds up very well after all these years. The super-saturated colors are balanced and stable, with no noticeable blooming or bleeding detected. The picture is offered in full-frame and is appropriate considering that Lang loathed the widescreen process. The disc has been given both a German language mono soundtrack with optional English subtitles, and a dubbed English language track. The former choice should be your way to go, though there is some hiss apparent on the track. Nevertheless, the German option is fine. A gallery of production stills and cool poster art has also been included. Overall, both Fantoma releases are excellent and a must for fans of the director or fans of exotic fantasy-adventure films."
