Editorial Reviews

This legendarily campy sci-fi epic (shot in color and CinemaScope, and rather lavish for a sci-fi film of this period) concerns a team of astronauts (all men -- this was 1958, you know) who are drawn off course and land on the planet Venus, only to discover it's populated entirely by beautiful women! The space travelers spend a lot of time drooling over their new hosts, dressed in highly practical mini-skirts, but the Venusian queen (Laurie Mitchell) does not much care for her visitors and wants to see them executed. However, not everyone on the planet takes such a hard line against the male gender. One of the Venusians is played by Zsa Zsa Gabor in what is probably the highlight of her film career; the original story was written by Ben Hecht. The producers helped stretch their budget by borrowing costumes and props from a number of other films, including spacesuits from Forbidden Planet, a spaceship from Flight To Mars and sets from World Without End (which was set on Mars, not Venus, though the differences must have escaped the film's scientific advisors).

January 05, 2008: QUEEN OF OUTER SPACE is a lot like make-up... it takes a combination of many parts to create the perfect face, and that's what we have here in this (at long last) DVD release of one of the best and most complete "B" movies ever made. I discovered QUEEN OF OUTER SPACE while working at a video store. To pass the time I put in this preplexing film for store play and was won over right from the opening. It was garish, glossy, frothy, sultry and all toppped off with dashes of pepper, salt and gold dust. It's a fashion runway with a plot. It features I LOVE LUCY lite comdey mixed with tongue twisting mad schemes and jabs at the basic nature of women themselves. Their vanity, their driving skills and the fact that their hair-brained ideas are more hair (cut and styled to perfection) than brain. A day didn't go by when I played this in store that a woman wouldn't come up and demand to know what I was playing, and why. But, once I introduced them to the box, the film was rented the very next second. The QUEEN OF OUTER SPACE was something that had to be seen to be believed and here's your chance. I have to admit, I love this film. It's not perfect, it borrows heavily from other films for its effects and costumes, and there are times when the balance of comdey and drama lurch abruptly from one scene to the next... but, as a whole, it works and works very well. While Zsa Zsa gets top billing, she is not the QUEEN OF OUTER SPACE, but the very model of a brilliant scientist with perfect taste in clothing and men. The QUEEN herself (Laurie Mitchell) is pure beast, yet still a beauty, just so long as you don't look at her face. You couldn't ask for a better pair for these roles... it's all snarling and darling and a riot from start to finish. Commentary is included and hosted by one of all time favorites, Tom Weaver. And he brought with him the QUEEN herself, Laurie Mitchell, and while I can't say this is the best commentary done by Weaver (there are too many gaps and long stretches of silence durning the commentary, so long in fact that I thought my copy may have had a fault. I'm used to Weaver spilling information like a waterfall - endless and always rushing to fit it all in the time allowed - he's not like that here), it is still a fun and heartfelt commentary from both Weaver and Mitchell, and will learn you a thing or two... such as the family connection between Paris Hilton and Zsa Zsa Gabor, something I never knew. Overall, QUEEN OF OUTER SPACE is a must have for any collector. It's a fun, funny and furious film that even a hundred years from now will still delight and entertain. So, don't pass this chance to have an audience with the QUEEN and enjoy.
