(aka "Love-Slaves of the Amazons")
Directed by Curt Siodmak
USA 1957
From Curt Siodmak, the sensational mind behind The Wolf Man, The Ape, The Magnetic Monster, I Walk with a Zombie and Donovan’s Brain, comes the thrilling Love Slaves of the Amazons. An American archaeologist (Don Taylor, The Naked City) and his partner (Eduardo Ciannelli, Mysterious Doctor Satan) are captured by a lost tribe of women warriors intent on turning the men into their “love slaves.” Together with another captive, Gina, they must escape from the lustful clutches of the Amazons if they hope to return to civilization. Beautifully filmed on location in Brazil, this eye-popping, action-packed adventure features river pirates, alligators, snakes, exotic dance numbers and green-skinned beauties of the jungle! *** A party of explorers in the Amazon jungle are captured by a tribe of women, and learn that they are to be used as the tribe's "love slaves." |

On their
Blu-ray,
Kino use a DTS-HD Master dual-mono track (24-bit) in the
original English language. Love Slaves of the Amazons
has plenty of jungle sounds from animals, drums and some music with the
lengthy slow dance number of some of the Amazons. The score is
uncredited - using
stock work by composers like

The Kino
Blu-ray
Curt Siodmak's Love Slaves of the Amazons
has surprisingly adult content for 1957 following the legend with male
subjugation to the point of being forced breeding slaves for the tribe
to flourish. At one point a tribal girl is showing jealousy and our male
protagonist is told "make love to her" to pacify her aggression. It can be so
outrageous though that it could be considered a comedy or perhaps
an unintentionally one. I was very keen on this and it turned out to be
fun and bold - a nice adventure that took its time evolving. The Kino Blu-ray
has the film in 2.0:1 with vibrant colors and extremely thick grain. The
addition of the commentary makes it worth the indulgence. Siodmak fans
should snap this oddball gem up.
