Attack of the 50 Foot Woman (1958)

"You know everyone's seeing satellites these days.", 15 August 2007

Nancy Archer (Allison Hayes) is a wealthy woman with a cheating husband. But that's really the least of her problems. One night while out in the desert, Nancy runs into a giant from outer space. She is found the next morning unconscious on top of her pool house. While under the care of her doctor, something strange begins to happen to Nancy. She begins to grow. In no time at all, Nancy is as big as the alien she ran into. And at 50' tall, there's nothing stopping her from putting a halt to her husband's cheating ways.

How in the world can you watch Attack of the 50 Ft. Woman and not have a good time? I think some people take movies like this too seriously and are so busy analyzing the poor special effects, the cheap sets, the ridiculously large plot holes, the iffy acting, and the rest of what gives this movie its charm that they don't know how to sit back, relax, and just enjoy it. Is Attack of the 50 Ft. Woman good? Well, no, not in the traditional sense. But I've seen it at least a half a dozen times and it's never failed to entertain. If you enjoy campy 50s movies at all, this is one that's not to be missed. Still not convinced? Attack of the 50 Ft. Woman also features 50s B-movie icon Allison Hayes in a bed sheet bikini. That's reason enough to tune in!
