Review of The Tiger of Eschnapur (1959) by Michael T — 16 Aug 2009
Long before Lord of the Rings and Grindhouse, Fritz made multi-release films, here a boy's own tale of exoticism and derring do in the East. Clearly this is a very Eurocentric take on The Orient, and made with no contomporary insight into ploitics, but a dashed exciting tale all the same.
After a bit of a slow start the picture pops into life about halfway. Great line: "It is indeed flattery for our Indian hospitality that you dare forget yourself so easily". Worth a go, and I wish I had the sequel.
