Review of Siren of Atlantis

1940's version of oft filmed story of finding Atlantis under the Sahara is probably best known when it was filmed several times under the l'Atalante title of the novel. The plot has a couple of adventurers stumbling upon the lost continent under the desert and coming in contact with the queen of the continent, romance and other complications ensue. This time out we get a well made version but the pacing is a killer and after a half an hour I began to wander literally, I went into other rooms in my house as this was running in the DVD player because the movie is just so darn slow. Worst of all is Maria Montez as the queen who is beautiful but leaden. She's so bad in fact that her name is now linked in my mind to one of the worst performances I've ever seen (and I've seen a good many). You can try it but you may snooze
