QUEEN OF OUTER SPACE 1958 (WARNER ARCHIVE)

A few years ago this was available thru Warner's Camp Cult Classics collection, but soon went out of print.

Warner Archive brings it back in all it's gorgeous color and widescreen glory. Zsa Zsa Gabor stars as one of the many leggy and beautiful women living on Venus who are under the rule of a mad queen who is intent on destroying the earth and who hates all men and believe it or not her name is not Hillary.

Eric Fleming, Dave Willock, Paul Birch and Patrick Waltz are the astronauts who crash land on the planet and help Zsa Zsa and the others overthrow their queen, played by Laurie Mitchell.

The other women include Lisa Davis, Barbara Darrow, Marilyn Buferd, and Laura Mason. None of the women are unattractive and the costumes for the men come from "Forbidden Planet", for the women they come from "Flight To Mars" and the giant spider and rocket ship come from "World Without End".

This is classic 50's sci-fi pulp at it's greatest. Highly recommended!!
