Cat Women of the Moon


 

This is a 1953 science fiction film directed by Arthur Hilton. The stars include Marie Windsor, Carol Brewster, Sonny Tufts and Victor Jory.

A group of astronauts land their rocket on the moon with the intention of exploration, but their navigator, Helen, seems strangely connected to the moon. It's as if she's been there before, but she couldn't have been. That mystery deepens when Helen guides the astronauts to a cave in the hills. They find fresh air, giant spiders and a city ruled by women. 

While regarded as a B-movie, it was 3-D in the cinema during its time of release. There are connections with "Project Moon Base" film 1953 and "Destination Moon" 1950 as it borrowed much of the costumes and sets. The 90's girl group Shakespeare's Sister were inspired by the film to make their 1992 album "Hormonally Yours". Elmer Berstein the composer of the film had his name misspelt in the movie credits. 

My rating is a flower moon 7/10.
