Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

ksf-2 This one is really a love triangle with husband Harry (William Hudson) and wife Allison Hayes, and... interloper Honey Parker (Yvette Vickers). When a UFO flies by, and wacky stuff happens to the Mrs., all of a sudden she's fifty feet tall, and mad as hell. her husband only comes around when he needs money. and the damn nurse won't stop screaming.... gadz. lots of running fast and driving fast. It's kind of erie, when Mrs. Archer comes into town, she's so tall, compared to everything else. It's pretty basic, but was probably pretty exciting at the time. They keep showing a giant hand, pretty much the only special effects. it's all pretty cheesy. Nicely brought to a satisfying end, at around one hour and six minutes. Director Nathan Juran had won Best Art Direction for "How Green was my Valley", and nominated for another. An Allied Artists production. it's pretty harmless.

DylanW After seeing a giant in the middle of the highway, Nancy Fowler Archer (Allison Hayes), terrified, attempts to convince the Sheriff and her husband Harry Archer (William Hudson). She gets nowhere, with her bad mental history shadowing her theory. Meanwhile, Harry, is cheating on her, who is only married for the money, compromises to check her theory. More events follow and soon, a giant woman comes into the story-line. With poor visual effects (mind you, it is 1958) it doesn't help that the story ,overall, is quite dry and I found myself somewhat bored for the first-half or so. But it picks up, the story and effects. The dreary plot picks up a lot and is actually very interesting. The acting is good by all of the actors, none standing out in particular. And the effects are REALLY GOOD and could still fool the current-day viewer. The movie has a great ending which will not disappoint, although some of the pieces/dialogue in the film are not good. But, it is a recommended movie to watch for the visual effects (which would've stood out in 1958, and can still be good now) but, be prepared, it can be tedious in parts.

LeonLouisRicci Monsters from the Id. This Movie came Late in the 1950's Sci-Fi Cycle but it Contains Much of the Decades Angst and Subconsciously Displays a Rich Array of the Era's Fears and Uncomfortable Social Conventions.The Poster...Wonderfully Prolific Artist Reynold Brown Designed this Classic and it Contains an Ultra-Sexy, Larger than Life, Voluptuous Woman Straddling an Iconic Freeway and that Most Descriptive of Eisenhower Prosperity and Abundance, the Automobile.Pubescent Boys...Baby Boomers who Watched Allison Hayes in this Movie in the Back Seat of a Car at the Drive-In or Seated in a Balcony at the Local Movie-Theatre, or on TV, Certainly were made all Tingly by the Sight of this Sexy Woman in Revealing Cleavage and Skin Tight Clam-Diggers. That Definitely Contributed to the Pleasurable Memories and Added to the Cult Fever for the Film.Flying Saucers...Here for some Unknown Reason were Called Satellites (the Sputnik fear), and the Term is Spoken Many Times as if to Shout it to the World. The Most Eerie Part Takes Place inside the Sphere Transposing Low-Budget Corrugated Cardboard, Goldfish Bowls, and Fog into a Surreal Scene. It Includes Diamonds as Fuel for The Flying Saucer and are there as Reminder (probably unintentionally) of the Decades Opulence.Radiation...Another Movie where that Unleashed Cancer Causer Transfigured a Benign Creature into a Monster.Female Bondage (Housewives and a Woman's place)...Although Unintentional, it Manifested an Underlying Feminine Fear of Subjugation and Restriction. The 50 Foot Woman is Literally put in Chains and Doped Up.Overall, a Movie that Reaches Things on such a Subconscious Level can't Help but be Remembered, Embraced, Nervously Laughed At, Ridiculed, Loved and Hated. But the Lasting Legacy of the Film Really says More about Ourselves than the Movie's Competence or Lack Thereof.Besides All of that Mumbo-Jumbo, the Movie is a Hoot.

bobvend OK, so there's this boozy hottie (Allison Hayes) who's married to this boozy hubby (William Hudson), who's messing around with this boozy floozy (Yvette Vickers), and well, things sorta get out of hand. The put-upon wife winds up having a close encounter of an absurd kind in the desert (where else?), and because of it, she eventually begins to dispel the myth that one size fits all.Of all the cheesy low-grade B-movie science fiction entries, this is certainly one of the most enjoyable, if only because it takes itself so seriously; yet it comes across with all the validity of a little kid dressed up as Mr T. for Halloween. The special effects are anything but, especially at the end when the little woman(!) offers her husband a helping hand.The acting is predictably bad, and the dialog and action hold no surprises. No doubt, you WILL laugh! This is one to savor, a true classic of the genre, for all the wrong (but enjoyable) reasons.
