The Indian Tomb #13

Ayan's fate, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. Ayan's fate Following more murder, mayhem and a Gotterdammerung finale that includes a chase across a crocodile-infested lake, Ayan eventually receives his comeuppance and ends up spending the rest of his days in this pitiful state, doing penitence for his misdeeds. Like Conrad Veidt, Joe and Mia May eventually emigrated to Hollywood. For many years, they owned and managed The Blue Danube restaurant in Los Angeles. Long unseen, The Indian Tomb was recently rediscovered and restored to its former glory. It is sometimes shown on the Turner Classic Movie Channel during the wee morning hours, and is also available on DVD. Since it is a silent film, it is accompanied by a music score (a rather good one, I might add) that helps set the exotic mood and which mirrors the action on screen. (As Buckles' dad used to say, "I can sit through almost anything if the music is good." )
