The Golden Idol (1954)


Allied Artists
Directed by Ford Beebe
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Bomba tangles with Arabs and a pretty archeologist over a treasured artifact from a lost civilization. The Arabs want it for the money, the archeologist for a museum and Bomba for a poor tribe that will benefit from the money. He steals it from the Arabs and hides it in an underwater cave. The Arabs threaten to kill the archeologist if he doesn't lead them to it. A long, murky chase in near darkness takes up the middle of the film. Bomba fights a stuffed lion, but passes up the chance to wrestle a rubber snake.
