the tiger of eschnapur (1959)


aka Tiger of Bengal. Der Tiger von Eschnapur.
"The Gods are Indian..."
Architect Harald Berger (Paul Hubschmid) arrives in Eschnapur, a rural part of India, to build a hospital for the Maharajah (Walter Reyer). One of his traveling companions is Seetha (Debra Paget), a temple dancer, who he saves from a man eating tiger, and ultimately falls for her many charms. But she is promised to another...
If you can overlook the dodgy special effects, the tiger fight and the plastic cobra being two of the treats in store, then you have a romantic epic to wallow in.
