An alcoholic rich woman(Allison Hayes) is abducted by a giant alien and exposed to radiation. Soon after her return, she grows into a giantess. Now fifty feet tall, she wreaks destruction all over town looking for her unfaithful husband and his floozy (Yvette Vickers).
So much fun. Busty beauty Allison Hayes' theatrics are a hoot to watch ("Why did I take you back? Why? WHY?!?"). I love a lot of her work and this is the highlight of her B career. Everybody rags on this movie but it's one of my favorite B movies. Normally I don't rate up for movies like this but some movies are just so enjoyable, even if it's for what some consider the wrong reasons, that I feel I have to. With everything else I take into account when rating a movie, entertainment value is at the top of my list. This one is undeniably entertaining. Full of unintentionally hilarious lines, cheesy effects, and campy performances. One of the all-time 'so bad it's good' classics. Oh, and one of the best movie posters from the '50s. And remember: "When women reach the age of maturity, Mother Nature overworks their frustration to the point of irrationalism..."
