QUEEN OF THE AMAZON-1947-Boring
nonsensical basement budget adventure made up mostly of animal stock
footage and African tribes dancing. Jungle guide Gary Lambert (Robert
Lowery) leads an expedition looking for some white guy. Jean Preston
(Patricia Morison), the guy's fiance goes along as do Col. Parker
(John Miljan), Gabby (J. Edward Bromberg) and Monroe (Keith
Richards). They find the guy among a female tribe of warriors led by
Zita (Amira Moustafa). The guy (William Benge) actually likes living
with the tribe and wants to marry the queen! Trouble plagues the
group (lion attacks, mysterious murders) and it turns out the comic
relief cook is actually the mastermind of a ivory poaching ring!
Director Edward Finney only directed 5 films but produced over 40.
Mainly westerns. In 1949 star Lowery would play Batman in the serial
BATMAN AND ROBIN.
Thanks for reading!
