What happens

Jivaro (also known as Lost Treasure of the Amazon) is a 1954 American 3-D adventure film directed by Edward Ludwig and starring Fernando Lamas, Rhonda Fleming and Brian Keith. Publicity material for the film translates Jivaro as "headhunters of the Amazon". Originally filmed in 3-D, due to a decline in interest Jivaro was not presented in that format in its original 1954 theatrical release. It finally had its 3-D debut on September 17, 2006, at "The World 3-D Expo" in Hollywood. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
