marthahunter 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.

Richardthepianist 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

mads5 I had been looking for this film ever since I saw it as a kid because it always stayed with me. It was spooky as a child but now that I've seen it again, it's also a beautiful love story. I like the 3 lead players, Vera Hruba Ralstron, Brian Aherne + Gearge Brent. Constance Bennett is also in the film. I think this was the movie that introduced me to Vera Hruba Ralston. I just recently acquired this film so can now watch it whenever I choose. Hope everyone gets a chance to see this film! This is about a beautiful lady who is frightened by a tiger while she's still a young woman + from that time on, she does not age. It has been compared to Lost Horizons + She if they had been made by Republic Pictures.

PIAZZASANMARCO I saw this movie as "Drums Along the Amazon" when I was a boy of about 15 to 17 in England. I am 66 now and I have never had the opportunity to see it since and neither have I ever forgotten it. Why? Because it is a haunting film that captured the imagination....maybe looking for that certain something in the jungle of life that always seems to just elude us.As I remember, Vera Ralston played an excellent part as Christine Ridgeway. She definitely commanded the film more so than George Brent.
