Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned... especially when you're fending off The Attack of the 50-Foot Woman! One of the most beloved camp classics of the 1950s begins with a three-way recipe for sci-fi disaster: Cheating husband Harry (William Hudson) is married to alcoholic heiress Nancy (Allison Hayes), but he's got a scheming mistress named Honey (Yvette Vickers) and a burning desire for Nancy's lavish inheritance. But before the greedy lovers can say "Super-Size Me," the insanely jealous Nancy gains a towering advantage: After exposure to radiation from a spherical alien satellite, Nancy grows to a height of (yep, you guessed it) and proceeds to wreak havoc as a giant dame with an attitude problem. As often happened with cheesy sci-fi and horror films of the Eisenhower era, the movie's deliriously exploitative poster promised more than the movie actually delivers, which perhaps explains why director Nathan Juran (whose next film was the comparatively lavish The 7th Voyage of Sinbad) opted to be credited as "Nathan Hertz." And while the special effects are cheesy and cheap (involving oversized miniatures, repeated process shots, see-through double-exposures, and a giant, rubbery arm used for King Kong-like clutching scenes), it's still possible to feel a hint of compassion for poor ol' Nancy, and that--along with the enjoyable performances of Hayes, Hudson, and Vickers--is probably why Attack has gained such a loyal cult following over the decades. Fueled by atomic-age paranoia and timeless human foibles, it's a feminist revenge thriller with lasting appeal, remade in 1993 with better special effects and Daryl Hannah in the title role. --Jeff Shannon

i purchased this because it fit with my collection of other early sci fi movies. the movie itself is not outstanding. it is a typical movie of the time. the acting is a little low...the effects are also a little low...yet the movie is endearing. can't really explain the 'why' part. the later version with hannah is actually a disaster. stick with the origanal.

All fifties sci-fi is not good and Allison Hayes made better use of her seductive beauty in Disembodied and The Undead. A gifted pianist with legendary attractiveness, her talents were short-changed with this effort. It was a childhood favorite of mine, but maturity makes me see the rediculous special effects, plot holes, and bad acting. A giant paper mache hand is all it takes to make the nurse scream in pure terror. Our giant in one scene appears to be door top level tall when she walks toward ... Read More

It's an excellent movie, love the actors. No matter how many times I watch it its still new to me. I remember watching it when I was little and now that I have the DVD I can watch it over and over again. Classic movie that holds the test of time. I give it seven stars then five. Wonderful movie!!!

This campy 1950s sci-fi film has turned into a real cult classic. The film is so bad - horrible special effects and terrible dialog - that it is a hoot to watch. It's so terrible......it's fun to watch. Instead of scaring you, the corny FX and dialog just make you laugh out loud.
I forget whether this film was made to be serious but at this point, it's like an Ed Wood film: so terrible that you laugh through the entire thing, making it a good comedy. As a bonus for guys, you get to ogle ... Read More

This movie is 66 minutes long and was May 15, 1958. Warning to all husbands thinking of cheating on their wives, don't. Basically this story tell what might happen if one does. Though some of the special effects are lame. A spaceship that looks like an oversized pingpong ball and a large rubber hand. If only fell short at the end. You only get about six minutes of the 50 foot minutes and the ending could of been a little bit better. This movie is still a great one.
