Queen of Outer Space Movie Review

Notorious male-chauvinist sci-fi cheapie set in the far-future year of 1985. Space cadet guys crash on Venus, find it ruled by “dolls,” like a masked queen who has wicked plans in store for mankind. Starts out slow, but then the unintentional laughs keep coming as the cast plays the hyperdumb material straight – famed scribe Ben Hecht allegedly intended his script outline (rewritten by Charles Beaumont) as satire, but maybe that's just an excuse. Most of the women were recruited from beauty pageants, as in Abbott & Costello Go to Mars. Don't be surprised if you've seen the sets and costumes before, either; they were borrowed from Forbidden Planet and others. WOOF!
