ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN perhaps has one of the most famous titles of all the science fiction films made in the 1950s, but having just watched it, the film is an undeniable disappointment. At just over an hour in length it's a film that drags interminably, and only features some brief snippets of giant-sized action, mostly confined to the last ten minutes.
The rest of the story is pretty boring, it has to be said, and the regular-sized cast members are quite dull. The titular character is a cuckolded wife who goes gunning for her husband and his mistress, only to encounter a UFO in the desert. The special effects used to transform her into a giant are tacky but fun, as is the interlude inside the UFO with a couple of yokels, but for the most part this is strictly so-bad-it's-good entertainment.
