Wiki.
The Indian Tomb (Das indische Grabmal in its original German) is a 1959 West German-French-Italian adventure drama film. It was produced by Artur Brauner, directed by Fritz Lang, and stars Debra Paget, Paul Hubschmid, Walter Reyer, Claus Holm, Valéry Inkijinoff, and Sabine Bethmann.
It is the second of two feature films, comprising what has come to be known as Fritz Lang's Indian Epic; the first is The Tiger of Eschnapur (Der Tiger von Eschnapur). Both are based on the 1918 novel Das indische Grabmal, written by Lang's ex-wife, Thea von Harbou, who died in 1954. The novel had earlier been filmed twice; each time as a two-part German film; in 1921 and 1938 respectively.
In 1960 American International Pictures obtained the rights to both films in Fritz Lang's Indian Epic, combining them into one heavily edited, 90 minute long feature renamed Journey to the Lost City which earned domestic gross of $500,000.After both were dubbed into Spanish, they were shown as separate films, when in fact the second was a direct continuation of the first.
Interiors were shot at the Spandau Studios in West Berlin with sets designed by the art directors Helmut Nentwig and Willy Schatz.
