(16) The Indian Tomb -- Joe May

As me and dad are watching The Spiders, the thrilling adventure that kicks off the Fritz Lang set, my idea is to follow each of them with another silent film, this as well is in 2 parts, and if you like it looks like YT can be of service if you can handle seeing the majestic silent era art form from there. Conrad Veidt stars in this exotic tale that was written by Lang and Thea von Harbou the team that brought you other Lang classics. I have another Joe May, a wonderful crime drama called Asphalt too btw

15/100 silent film discs as a framework for reading 20 novels or books/volumes

And i'm 27% into the 1st of 20

I'll be quiet for awhile now, enjoy the film if you take the plunge!!

In regards to the Mabuse movies of the 60s, I‘d recommend a little german movie called „Suendige Grenze“, which translates to sinful border.
There arent many similarities in theme, but alot towards the overall mood of the time or the years before. Dont know if there is an english dub around, but maybe subtitles are.

@Somerset I might be getting that new Eureka set of Mabuse films, I've never seen them or Lang's 3rd installment. Thanks for the info on the lesser known gems, I hope Sinful Border gets an official release sometime!
