Angel On The Amazon (1948)

When his plane crashes in the Amazon jungle, a pilot (George Brent) and his handful of passengers are guided to safety by a mysterious woman (Vera Ralston). He falls in love with her at first sight but traumatized by an incident in her past, she refuses to engage in a romance. Directed by John H. Auer (CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS), this low budget Republic programmer begins like an adventure film but soon turns into a psychological suspense film. Its outcome isn't psychologically sound but if you view it as a supernatural event then it works. The film is hampered by Ralston's performance. She's not a strong enough actress to suggest a sense of mystery to her character nor the depth to suggest a psychologically disturbed woman. It's a potboiler but I enjoyed it well enough. With Constance Bennett, Brian Aherne, Fortunio Bonanova, Alfonso Bedoya and Richard Crane.
