According to a recent revival notice in The New Yorker, Cobra Woman is a “camp classic, with Maria Montez as voluptuous twins. She's the good Nadja, who is kidnapped just as she's about to marry Jon Hall (who smiles his moony, Mona Lisa smile and looks as bone-headed as ever), and she's the evil High Priestess Tollea, who rules a tribe of snake worshippers on Cobra Island. The implacably lifeless cast includes Sabu, Edgar Barrier, Lon Chaney, Jr., Lois Collier, Mary Nash, Samuel S. Hinds, and Moroni Olsen. Among the exotic treats: a rumbling volcano, a pet chimp, ominous gong sounds, forest-glade love scenes, human sacrifices, Tollea's hand-maidens in their high-heeled pumps, her dispirited demonic dance, and the way she writhes and flashes spangles as she says imperiously, ‘Gif me the cobra jools!'”
