aka The Tomb Of Love. Das indische Grabmal.
"his love will make a fool."
The continuing story of love in India. A Maharajah (Walter Reyer) loves Seetha (Debra Paget), a temple dancer, but she runs off with Harald Berger (Paul Hubschmid), a German architect. The Maharajah feeling slighted sends his cavalry to get her back. His army corners the lovers, he falls to his 'death', and she is brough back to the palace. Thinking her lover is dead Seetha is forced into a loveless marriage, but you know that Berger will be back...
A beautifully realised vision, that much like Black Narsisus weaves a story of love and death, and lets you see past some of the cheesier special effects.
