Cobra Woman is just what the audiences expect it to be -- a glorious color film combining spectacle, a plot faintly similar to the average comic strip, and quantities of hand to hand battles.

If you go in the right frame of mind to [Cobra Woman], you might find amusement in the absurdities of the plot and in the antics of Montez, Hall and company.

The ensuing incidents, all previously aired in fantastic spectacle films, are not unentertaining if you like your escapist entertainment.

It is in an atmosphere, therefore, of uncertainty, though undeniable beauty, that Jon Hall pursues his oft-pursued romance with Maria Montez in Cobra Woman.
