Review Summaries

"Beautiful Nancy Archer (Hayes) lives in the California desert off Route 66 and is worth 50 million dollars, but is dreadfully unhappy because her no-good hubby Harry (Hudson) is fooling around with brainless cupcake Honey Parker (Vickers). The two scheme on how to make the heiress's fortune their own, but a "satellite" (basically a white sphere) descends into the desert and drives Nancy around the bend. While under her doctor's care at home, she balloons into a 50-foot woman, and goes on the rampage in search of her errant man. This 1958 camp classic uneasily combines science fiction, noir, and horror, and offers loads of unintended laughs."
