best line: “Watch out for those gadgets on their chests!” – Commander Halstead while wrestling with an alien woman

It’s go go action, when aliens disguised as fashion models start kidnapping people for a mad mad scientist, so he can conduct inhumane experiments and merge himself with the perfect woman! Augh! Yes, it’s so bad it’s great. Spacemen fight with karate-chopping vixens, rockets spew fireworks, and aircars dangle on strings. The budget is so low the miniature buildings are re-used in the next scene as furniture and mod set decor.

The plot? Italians don’t need a stinkin’ plot — just a couple of futuristic cars and a lot of hair pieces! The “perfect” woman gets drunk and spews anti-feminist venom. Then after being spurned by every officer in the room, she runs headlong into a trap. Between the sexist banter men are manly: fighting and rescuing, meanwhile beautiful women pick clothes off the floor and stuff them into designer handbags.

While wrestling with an alien woman Commander Halstead shouts out, “Watch out for those gadgets on their chests!” I’m sure it’s all a metaphore for something.

Marie Antoinette (1938)

Norma Shearer plays the semi-historical shallow party girl who comes to a bad end. If you must lose your head you might as well do it in gowns by Adrian. MGM doubled the size of Versailles with a budget of 1.8 million dollars, stopping just short of filming the whole thing in Technicolor — reportedly Shearer’s sumptuous fur coat was dyed blue to match her eyes.

Du Barry was a Lady (1943)

It’s Zeigfeld’s follies gone Rococo crossed with Vargas pin-ups, all set to big band remixes of Cole Porter tunes (well, just 3 of them. The rest are Arthur Freed…).

Three for the Show (1955)

Broadway star Betty Grable discovers she is married to two men and is thrilled, but best friend Marge Champion figures she’ll be the odd one out if she can’t stop that ego-maniacal bitch.
