COBRA WOMAN 1942 (KINO) BLU-RAY

This is a movie I searched for for a long time until Kino released this gorgeous Blu-Ray.

Maria Montez stars as twin sisters. One good, one evil, of course. The good one is named Tollea and as the movie opens she is going to marry a handsome man named Ramu (Jon Hall).

However, before the wedding can take place she is kidnapped and taken back to where she was born....an evil place called Cobra Island. She has been brought back by her Grandmother as Tollea is the rightful ruler of Cobra Island.

The people feel that she could make the island a better place to live than her evil sister Naja who is ruling over the people and their lives with an iron fist.

Ramu and his friend Kado (Sabu) set off to Cobra Island to rescue Tollea. Both are captured and sentanced to death by Martol (Edgar Barrier). After several escapes and recaptures Tollea confronts her evil sister.

Naja falls out of a window to her death and Tollea replaces her just in time to stop the execution of Ramu and Kado. This is a very beautiful film and the color is better than anything I have ever seen.

It's mindless entertainment as are all the Hall/Montez films are, and it never disappoints. Kino did an excellent job with this film and it's well worth a look for those who like adventure and romance films.

It's VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and a no brainer for buying.
