Here it comes: Naja’s gloriously extravagant *Cobra Dance*. This sequence became one of the defining moments of Maria Montez’s career and a major reason COBRA WOMAN developed such a devoted camp following.

No one will be seated during the riveting cult dance scene. #CobraWoman #TCMParty

Those gloriously extravagant gowns were designed by Vera West, Universal’s longtime costume designer. Few movies ever gave a costume designer more permission to ignore the phrase “too much.”

"Naja" is the genus comprising cobras, so honestly, you're just asking for trouble when you name a child that.

King Cobra! Snakes, why did it have to be snakes?

This is genuine three-strip-era Technicolor. Natalie Kalmus, the influential Technicolor color consultant whose name appears on many classic color films, served as color consultant.

Rooster feathers don't really say cobra to me, but maybe we're going for a Quetzalcoatl thing here.

I just feel like that’s a mighty small island and they clearly need people to make all that stuff and 200 is a lot to sacrifice. #TCMParty #CobraWoman

COBRA WOMAN wastes no time: it runs only about 70 minutes. Apparently evil twins, kidnapping, romance, palace intrigue, volcanoes and cobra dancing don't require three hours.

Although released in May 1944, COBRA WOMAN had been filmed nearly a year earlier. Production began April 19, 1943 and continued through late June.

You’re about to watch the greatest scene in film history. #TCMParty #CobraWoman

Once again my Letterboxd viewing history is…something. #CobraWoman #TCMParty

Isn't Sabu a stranger to the island, too? Why isn't he in jail then? #TCMParty #CobraWoman

Where did this "fureigners don't use articles and verbs" thing come from?
