A scientist and his
nephew (Diffring and Hinz) venture into the Amazon for humanitarian reasons.
They are greeted by Lana, a white tribal queen, and are brought into the
village where they conduct their experiments. Meanwhile, other men have
penetrated Brazilian jungle but they plan to eliminate the tribe and steal
the legendary treasure.
Anton Diffring, usually
cast cast as a Nazi villain, plays Professor Van Vries here. One of his
last appearances was the 25th Anniversary TV special Doctor Who:
Silver Nemesis (1988). By his own admission, Diffring had never
seen any Doctor Who project, even when he was living in England.
He accepted the part so that he could be in London to see the Wimbledon
tennis championship. Mr Diffring is best known to cult movie fans for
Alejandro Jodorowsky's TUSK,
Jess Franco's PREDATORS
OF THE NIGHT and MARK
OF THE DEVIL 2. Anton Diffring died from cancer in May 1989 at
age 70.
