An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked German Movie Poster (measures 47 1/2" x 55 3/4") (Learn More) Das Indische Grabmal (released in English-speaking countries as "The Indian Tomb"), the 1938 Richard Eichberg German action adventure thriller sequel (based on the novel by Thea von Harbou) starring Kitty Jantzen, La Jana, Philip Dorn (billed as "Frits van Dongen"), Alexander Golling, Gustav Diessl, and Hans Stuwe. Note that this was a remake of a 1921 movie where von Harbou's novel was adapted to the screen by Fritz Lang, and then, in an odd twist, in 1959, Fritz Lang remade this movie again, even though he and von Harbou had had a bitter divorce many years earlier! Yes, that IS the same Philip Dorn who later starred in U.S. movies! He was born Hein van der Niet, and he acted in German movies under the name of Frits van Dongen, but he fled to America in the late 1930s, changed his name, and had success there (helped by the many U.S. stars who were away in the service). Also note that this movie was a sequel to the 1938 German movie "Der Tiger von Eschnapur" (The Tiger of Eschnapur). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Tarida Important Added Info: Note that this is a rare "country of origin" poster for this German movie! Condition: good. The poster had creases and small tears on many foldlines and some areas of paper loss in parts of some foldlines, and at some crossfolds. There were a few areas of paper loss in the borders. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer linenbacked the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, (any restorer could likely finish the restoration without re-backing the poster).
