No film has ever captured the ethos, culture, and history of Brazil better than our film today. Many forget that Wonder Woman came from the Amazons. So did Menudo. From watching Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman, and this film we can see that babes, scantily clad, dancing with powerful pelvic thrusts, and great big...er, smiles, is something Brazilians, especially babes from the Amazonian regions, are very proud of. Though Menudo has become a national embarrassment. Today we will look at the epic historical drama, 1957's "Love Slaves of the Amazons," in color, directed by Curt Siodmak.
The boring archaeologist, Dr. Peter Masters (Don Taylor) is a hunk and he arrives in the Brazilian Amazon city of Manaus. He needs to loosen up, and when he meets a lunatic archaeologist, Dr. Crespi (Eduardo Ciannelli), he will get this opportunity. Crespi has a solid gold statue of the Amazonian Queen Conori (Ana Maria Nabuco). Peter is excited as this is proof Crespi has found the legendary femme superhumans. The Amazons have remained hidden for centuries, except when Wonder Woman snuck away. Now Peter helps fund an expedition to find them and hires Crespi as his guide. A small crew go up the river and follow Crespi's navigation and soon must fend off deadly, machete wielding pirates. Now Peter and Crespi make it to the region and get separated. Peter gets sick and wakes up in the temple of these babes.
Enter the sultry botanist, Dr. Gina Vanni (Gianna Segale). She and her expedition went missing four years ago, but now she resides with these jungle beauties. The lovelies strip Peter, bathe him, dance for him, and give him mood enhancing incense. They seek to mate with him. Mario (Tom Payne) was their sperm donor, but he got tiresome and exhausted and probably wanted to be appreciated for his scientific accomplishments. Now Peter will be asked to impregnate each and every one of these beauties, as Queen Canori presides. The gals will gyrate, dance, flirt, and allow him to seduce them. Gina wants to escape as she knows what being enslaved by the Amazons means. I gotta say Gina may be turned off by the sexy jungle babes, but Peter seems to have a better deal. No matter, Gina is a babe, and now Peter is seeking to escape with her. Uh oh, the pirates arrive and war wages. Oh, I should mention some nice catfights...babes will be babes, after all.
However enslaved he is, should Peter stay with the tribe and enjoy the fruits of passion and the shows they put on? Is Gina merely jealous that the Amazons have a wild animalistic appeal that she could never match, as far as Peter is concerned? Will Gina and Queen Conori engage in a catfight that entails ripping one another's clothes off, pulling their hair, and rolling around in the mud? For the best film ever about Brazil and its identity, see "Love Slaves of the Amazons."
