They suffer 10000 dangers , being harassed , attacked and abducted by aboriginal tribes on the edge of the rain forest , and confronting each other .
This exciting film contains thrills , emotion , hard-boiled characters , adventure and action scenes of infighting between violent tribes that generate a lot of entertainment . It is a simple and predictable adventure spectacle , ordinarily directed by a Spanish craftsman , Eugenio Martin . Here stands out the beauty Gillian Hills , including her gorgeous attractive with Sexciting scenes never before shown , never be made again . The film is well starred by Pierre Brice , the unforgettable ¨Winnetou¨ , a role who repeated in a lot of pictures , this excellent character to be continued in a TV series . Brice was descendant of old French nobility and considered to be one of the most famous and most loved actors in Germany and in the other countries in Eastern Europe , thanks to this role and starred several pictures as charming Indian Winnetou . He even received First Class Medal as one the most popular Frenchmen in Germany . In 1962, the German producer Horst Wendlandt searched for an actor who should play the Native American chief and got to know Brice at the Berlin Film Festival . He got the role and portrayed "Winnetou" in ten more movies but also performed other genres . ¨Die Goldene Göttin Vom Rio Beni" or "Golden Goddess of Rio Beni" or "La Diosa De oro" or ¨Duelo En El Amazonas¨ displays an evocative as well as atmospheric musical score by Georges Garvarentz . Glamorous and lush cinematography by Manuel Hernandez who photographs wonderfully the Amazon jungle , obviously filmed under difficult conditions on location . Shot in Ultra-scope and Eastmancolor , which is at once visually distinctive but also rather flattening .
Enough Budget for a multi-country production formed by Production Companies , Atlântida Cinematográfica , Comptoir Français Du Film Production , Procusa and the powerful German company : Constantin Film Produktion . The motion picture was decently directed by Eugenio Martin or Gene Martin , but it has some flaws and gaps . He's a good professional filmmaking from the 6os , though sparsely scattered and giving various entertaining as well as commercial films . He's a horror/mystery movies expert : ¨Hypnosis¨ , ¨A candle for the devil¨ , ¨The fourth Mrs Anderson¨ ; Spaghetti/Paella Western : ¨Requiem for a gringo¨ , ¨Pancho Villa¨ , ¨The ugly ones¨ , ¨Bad man's river¨ and adventures : ¨Golden Goddess of Rio Beni¨, ¨Captain from Toledo¨, ¨Conqueror of Maracaibo¨. Martin also wrote/directed some TV series as ¨Juanita La Larga¨ , ¨Cervantes¨, and ¨Visperas¨ . Rating : Acceptable adventure movie , 5/10 , well worth watching . This action/adventure Pic that commits viewers to sit chewing their fingernails for more than ninety minutes will appeal to Eurotrash fans .
