Angel on the Amazon gives the viewer a pretty good notion of what Lost

Horizon or She might have looked like had they been produced by

Republic Pictures. Vera Ralston stars as huntress Christine Ridgeway,

who embarks on one of her many hunting expeditions in the company of

her husband Anthony Brian Aherne. While deep in the jungles of the

Amazon, the Ridgeways and their party come across the wreckage of a

plane. Among the survivors are pilot Jim Warburton George Brent and Dr.

Karen Lawrence Constance Bennett. Warburton is impressed by the fact

that, though apparently well on in years, Christine has retained her

youthful appearance. Dr. Lawrence eventually discovers the secret of

Christine's eternal beauty, which by film's end has atrophied

considerably. The rambling screenplay whisks the viewer from Brazil to

the Riviera to Pasadena, all courtesy of the Republic back lot.
