COBRA WOMAN (1944). The Maria Montez/Jon Hall films get a lot of disrespect, but I must say, I found CW to be quite entertaining: Certainly no classic, but loads better than much of what Universal was cranking out. A lovely woman (Montez) is abducted to a dangerous island and her fiancee (Hall) follows her with help from Sabu. All sorts of campy dangers arise, including a mute Lon Chaney Jr! ***
