The career of Patricia Morison is a strange one. She was a great singer with a fine soprano voice yet was never used in Hollywood in musicals. I recall her being a fine villain in a Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes movie, maybe that was the best of the B films she did. Yet on Broadway she reached stardom in playing the female lead in Kiss Me Kate.
But I don't think she ever sunk so low as in this independent B film Queen Of The Amazons. She's not in the title role, she's just looking for her fiancé who disappeared on safari years ago.
Great white hunter Robert Lowery guides Morison into the African jungle looking for Bruce Edwards. They've got a dual purpose in mind, also to try and find who's been killing the great elephants of Africa for their ivory. That's what Edwards was doing when he disappeared.
When they do find him, he's having a great old time with a tribe of white female Amazons, their chief has made him the object of her affections. And Queen Amira Moustafa isn't about to let Morison reclaim him. Not that it's an issue because she's already eying Robert Lowery the same way. It's great to see those jungle Amazons keeping up with the latest Forties fashion.
A whole lot of stock jungle footage gets used here to pad things out. Road To Zanzibar had more going for it than this item.
