Review of Queen of Outer Space (1958) by C.j. A — 24 Apr 2008
'Forbidden Planet' tackled the politics of knowledge, 'Them!' tackled post-war paranoia, and 'Queen from Outer Space' tackles... that stupid species known as women! Yep, in this B-movie camp-o-rama, an unequivocal nadir in 1950s sci-fi-as-social-allegory, three stupid male astronauts land on Venus, a planet populated with stupid women who - according to dialogue spoken by both sexes - need the love of a man to feel happy.
Between the variety-show set design, the fugly-as-fuck costuming, and the misogyny so ignorant it's actually charming, this movie is more than ripe for your finest 'Mystery Science' couch comments.
Enjoy!
