CULT OF THE COBRA 1956 (UNIVERSAL)

When I first saw this at age 7 I was somewhat disappointed and didn't really like this movie. Well now being 49 I appreciate it as a very good entry in the 50's Universal horror film line.
Gorgeous Faith Domergue stars as a mysterious young woman who can change into a snake and kill people. The reason for her duties is because in WW2 six soldiers saw a forbidden snake worshipping ceremony and were marked for death.
Richard Long, David Janssen, William Reynolds and Marshall Thompson also star in this nice chiller. Sexy and very under used Kathleen Hughes stars as the fiance on Long and does a very good job.
This is included in the Sci-Fi Ultimate Collection from Universal, and if you can find it watch it. It's different than most Universal horror at that time and very well worth watching.
