Astronauts travel aboard an elaborately appointed drawing of a spaceship to a matte-painting of the moon. As they explore the lunar surface, which consists of walking through sets in front of more matte-paintings of the moon, they discover an extremely unlikely cave, take off their helmets and spacesuits in the extremely unlikely moon air, and are then attacked by a gigantic googly-eyed spider dangling from a string. Then someone shoots this moon spider with a gun that sounds suspiciously like a gun one might hear on Gunsmoke. Suddenly, a foreboding cat-woman shadow appears a couple of times, then the cat-women perform a ritual-like dance.
Sorry, no clip.
It's just as well, because it's terrible. There's some telepathy I guess because it's apparently in the script, and a completely meh astronaut love triangle which could have been nipped in the bud if the astronauts had brought enough women for everyone, and a couple of unconvincing cat-woman attacks. The whole movie is cruddy, and after a while I just stopped caring about the moon, or cat-women, or anything, really. I watched it on Youtube, and you can watch it below, but why bother?
I think I'll add this one to my 100 Greatest Titles (But Not Greatest Movies) list. Thanks for providing the whole film.
ReplyDeleteI am merely sharing this film and do not own it, as I believe it is in the public domain. Regarding "Greatest Titles", the problem with many of these movies is that they have a great title but nothing to back it up. Taking "Cat-Women" for example, it could be argued that there are no actual cat-women in this film, just Leotard-Wearing Moon Villains, and no one would go see a movie titled that.
