Attack of the 50 Foot Woman (1958)

attack-of-theh-50-foot-womanGreat title, great poster, lousy movie. Call it Attack of the 50-Minute Domestic Drama because it takes almost an hour before we get ANY fifty foot woman action—and the film is only sixty-five minutes long. The plot largely concerns a guy who cheats on his alcoholic, wealthy heiress wife with a redheaded floozy who looks to con her way into big money. Early in the film, the wife is exposed to radiation from a UFO, but no one believes her story about it because she’s a drunk. When she eventually mutates into a giant and stomps out for revenge against her husband, they start to believe her.

Low-budget flick here with some classic bad special effects when it finally gets around to ’em.
