I understand this film was made in the late 1950's, but PLEASE. It begins with a group of astronauts on a mission into space. Something goes wrong and they end up on the planet Venus. One of the hottest planets in our solar system. In this movie it can sustain life. Once they land they scout around, but can't find anybody at first. They they come across a group of women who is led by this masked queen. Once they meet their leader they wonder where are all the men. Supposedly she has banished them to another planet, but has kept some for scientific experiments. The queen is not to fond of men because they love war and at one time disfigured her face. So she has become quite clear what she plans to do. Along with her fellow loyal followers she has planned to destroy Earth, but one thing stands in her way. Women who hate her, Zsa, Zsa Gabor, and other's who want to escape her wrath. This movie is so filled with sexiest references, I could not believe it. I did like the giant spider scene, even though it was comical. In a nut shell there isn't much to this movie except laughs, it did get a fair rating; and I'm surprised it was a 4.6. I gave it a 4, because it is comedy gone wrong, as for science fiction not much to it. So if your into a cheesy mood, watch this.

A spaceship with a four-man crew crash-lands on Venus. There they find the planet is inhabited solely by women, who take the men prisoner believing them to be the first wave in an invasion by Earth. The women are ruled by masked Queen Yilana, who hates men and blames them for the disfigurement of her face. Not all of the women on Venus are man-haters, though. A group of resistance fighters, led by Talleah (Zsa Zsa Gabor), plan to rescue the astronauts and overthrow Yilana.I love this movie. It's so much fun. It has lots of cheesy appeal and comic value, both intentional and otherwise. It's so ridiculously sexist and outdated that you can't possibly take it seriously unless you have a stick up your rear the size of a redwood. Also, it's a '50s sci-fi movie so it has that charm about it. I love the colorful costumes, sets, and props. The cast is good. Zsa Zsa is memorably bad in the best way. Eric Fleming and Paul Birch play it straight, which helps make the whole thing that much funnier. Dave Willock is always a treat. But it's Patrick Waltz that gets the best (and most sexist) lines. A fun sci-fi movie that everyone should be able to enjoy on some level. Just take your serious hat off for awhile.

The movie reminds me of the old TV series Captain Video (1949-1955), except the TV series had a good excuse for all the slow walking—it was produced live and confined to the small sets of a TV studio. There just wasn't much room to move around in. Notice in Queen how the actors do an equally slow walk through the jungle sets. Apparently, the producers spent all their money on skimpy skirts and cardboard décor, and not on bigger sound stages. But, what guy cares, what with all the long legs and feminine curves to ogle. Actually, that's about the only reason to catch this cinematic silliness. Too me, it doesn't rise to the level of camp. Instead, it's a plain bad movie, whose most interesting feature is what the makers had in mind, in the first place. And would someone please take Eric Fleming's face out of the deep freeze. Apparently, he got a look at the script before starting. You can almost sense the pain.

Again, this was NOT the horrible, awful, campy or just plain bad movie that so many reviewers here state and, the 4.3 rating that is given here is totally unfounded! In my opinion, this movie should had gotten no less than a 6.I too watched this film hoping for a "good laugh"—I'm happy to inform you that I was sorely disappointed in that respect. Sure, the plot—strangers get stranded in a distant land and help an oppressed people overthrow a tyrannical ruler—has been done over and over and over again but, so has Shakespeare! Zsa Zsa Gabor actually delivers an impressive performance as Talleah, as does Eric Fleming as Capt. Patterson and Paul Birch as Prof. Konrad. And, Laurie Mitchell is very believable as the bitter, inwardly tormented, wicked queen. The dialogue written for and delivered by Patrick Waltz and, even more so, Dave Willock is a bit corny and cartoonish but, they serve mainly as the film's comic relief.The special effects are nothing short of cheesy but, what do you expect from a low budget 1950's sci-fi flick? Also, there has been mention of the "sexism" in this movie. Although the females are scantily clad (by 1950s standards), they still are not portrayed in your standard pre-1970s sexist roles! All in all, NOT the movie I had come to expect and, for that, I am glad!
