Tam-tam sur l'Amazone

This is a haunting story about a woman who goes on a safari with her husband, had a traumatic occurrence and ceases to age and all the problems that occur as a result. Wish I could find this film to see again!!

Genre films of the late 40's are particularly interesting to me. Many of them have strong elements of film noir (i.e. snappy dialogue, moody settings, diabolical villains, etc.) and they often had offbeat plot lines.

"Angel on the Amazon" is quite entertaining with a competent cast, jungle thrills, love triangles, and a haunted femme fatale. One surprisingly intense flashback scene was that of a panther that was stalking sleeping members of a safari (complete with well staged high angle shots).

I recommend that any fan of vintage genre films to seek out this B+ film title out.

I guess this is one of the most impressive and interesting John Auer's movie, besides CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS, another topic because a crime movie. This one is an adventure flick, far better than war films from this Republic pictures director who never made westerns nor films in color. It is amazing, tremendous, so unforgettable. Don't confound it with CURUCCU BEAST OF THE AMAZON, from director Curt Siodmak. It is actually hard to put this feature in a category and that's precisely why it is so riveting. I don't remember suc a scheme before. George Brent is a waste, although, I would have more imagines John Carrol, another actor used to appear in John Auer movies.

I have had the GREAT JOY of FINALLY locating this film after not seeing it in about 30 years! Like some of the earlier comments,this haunting film has stayed with me since and just in the last few weeks,after persistently looking on the web to see if ANYONE had it on video for purchase,I FOUND a company named learmedia in Canada..I'm still pinching myself to believe that I have it at last! Angel on the Amazon is a film that still evokes romantic fantasy,psychological tension and a very satisfying ending.A must for those film collectors who find the needle in the haystack...Vera Hruba Ralston is a minor actress who gives a stellar performance and is backed by noted Brian Aherne,George Brent and Constance Bennett

I saw this movie as a young person and was transfixed by the whole idea at this ageless woman and why she was that way. Then I spent years trying to find a copy of it, managed to finally track one down then I lost that and everything I owned in a warehouse fire. Since relocating cross country, I managed to find a rather poor DVD transfer from a private seller. Recently I found another private seller who had a remastered print in which the film looks almost brand new. It is so worth the effort!
