Cult Of The Cobra - 1955 - 5/10

Guilty, childhood pleasure here.
Six postwar GI’s do the turista thing in Asia (India) before shipping home.
They hear of the secretive Cult Of The Cobra, lamias who can transform from human to snake.
For $100.00, the men can view the forbidden ceremony. But - - - NO PHOTOS !!
Their guide repeats several times. No photos! No photos!
Guess what happens? Ha ha ha.
Afterward, the now-Stateside ex-GI’s worry about toxic snake bites.
B-film has acceptable curse premise, snooze inducing love angle (sorry, Marshall Thompson is no romantic hunk), yet boasts a slew of future television “faces.”
Within ten years, their shows included “The F.B.I.,” “The Big Valley,” “Daktari,” “Maverick,” “The Fugitive.”
