Cobra Woman (1944)


Universal Pictures
Directed by Robert Siodmak
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Universal Vault Series)

Maria Montez gets two roles in this exotic island adventure story. The first Maria is kidnapped from her idyllic island life and taken to Cobra Island. Her fiance follows in a boat to rescue her, along with stowaway Sabu. The island is ruled by Maria's evil twin sister. He must find a way to overcome her bodyguards, a giant snake and an erupting volcano. If that wasn't enough, there are anthropomorphic monkey antics, Lon Chaney as a mute and numerous native dances.
