Attack of the Foot Woman (50 ) Movie Review

Size matters! The success of The Incredible Shrinking Man inspired this inevitable imitation. Allison Hayes stars as a woman recently released from an insane asylum, not the best time for her to tell police and her husband that she witnessed a flying saucer land in the desert. When she is zapped with a ray that transforms her into what the ads hyped as a bikini-clad “female colossus” with “a mountainous torso, skyscraper limbs, giant desires,” she tears up the town looking for her two-timing hubby. Written by Mark Hanna, who also wrote The Amazing Colossal Man. Too bad no one thought to team those two up for a sequel. Originally released on a double bill with War of the Satellites. Recently remade for cable starring Daryl Hannah. Stick with Allison.

1958 72m/B Allison Hayes, William Hudson, Roy Gordon, Yvette Vickers, George Douglas; D: Nathan (Hertz) Juran; W: Mark Hanna; C: Jacques Marquette. VHS, Beta, LV FOX, FCT
