Despite other unenthusiastic reviews, I enjoyed this film. I know it was an OK time waster, but how many films are made on the Amazon Rver and centered on Manaus. I think Fitzcarraldo was the last and that was not set on the actual Amazon, but on a tributary. The stunning scenery alone made the film worth watching. The plot was 'Death on the Nile'. A disparate tour group of travellers are introduced, and the first part of the film is dedicated to who's who, most of whom are running away from something. Then the two bad guys arrive paying cash for their tickets. All that was missing was Hercules Porfirio, the detective who would wrap up the case after lining up the surviors on deck. I thought the crooks went to a lot of trouble for a measly million dollars which might have been a big deal in the twenties, but 100 years later is chicken fee. .
