50's B-movie junk about astronauts who discover a group of women who live on the dark side of the moon. They all wear tight catsuits which was probably a little risque back in '53. Originally shown in 3-D this is a dumb but fun movie that reflects the clunky zany 50's style with nutty dialogue and insane science and it's only about an hour long so you don't have much time to get bored. Amazingly this was never featured on Mystery Science Theater since it seems like the perfect film for them to have ridiculed. This was sorta remade as QUEEN OF OUTER SPACE a few years later and I think I liked that one a little bit better since it was in glorious color and starred Zsa Zsa Gabor. There was also an actual remake titled MISSILE TO THE MOON in '58. Also this clearly inspired a whole slew of horny women in outer space flicks. AKA ROCKET TO THE MOON
