What was the name of it?

Plot had men walking upon sand (archaeologists?) then finding a cave or underground place, ruled by a priestess or a queen. She had a trick to capture/kill intruders --- a beautiful girl would approach the man, as if for a kiss, then never stop hugging/squeezing him until he died.

Part of it included a hidden chair/throne that emerged from a hidden wall of the chamber and slid in and out. I think there was a young woman who helped the men escape, then got caught by the queen/priestess, but the hero rescued her and they both escaped from the cave.

The part of the movie, which might have been foreign (dubbed), where the zombie-like girl began to kiss the man, emphasized that he tried to escape her arms when they began to crush him. Anyone remotely familiar with this? It played in local movie theaters in the early '60s.

Thanks to all with whatever contribution you care to make!
