Cat Women of the Moon Movie Review

A team of scientists led by Sonny Tufts land on the moon and encounter a telepathic race of skimpily attired female chauvinists and a giant spider. An aggressively silly picture with romance, excitement, and plenty of unintentional laughs. The “Hollywood Cover Girls” played various cat women. Tufts got his show biz start as an opera singer, then moved on to Broadway musicals (and was sued by showgirls in the ‘50s for biting them on the thighs). Former Miss Utah Marie Windsor became a star playing bad girls. Director Arthur Hilton was a top editor (The Killers) before becoming a B-movie director. Cat Women is available on video in its original 3-D format. It was remade (badly) in 1958 as Missile to the Moon. AKA: Rocket to the Moon.
