GOLD OF THE AMAZON WOMEN (1979) ¢ 1/2

Bond Gideon, Susan Miller, Sarita Butterfield
A square-jawed explorer played by Bo Svenson goes into the jungle looking for the Seven Cities of Gold, but an evil drug lord played by Donald Pleasance wants the gold for himself, and (of course) there's a tribe of Amazons. A sluggishly paced, low-cost adventure made in Trinidad for NBC television. Nothing to write home about, or to go into the jungle for, either. Anita Ekberg, defining the concept of statuesque, plays the queen of the Amazons.
