Attack Of The 50ft Woman (1958)

Written By: Ken Hulsey

Nancy Archer (Allison Hayes) had something funny happen to her on the way home from the insane asylum. She saw a UFO. Only trouble is no one will believe her. Go figure.

Her husband couldn’t be happier though. If Nancy is still insane than he can continue his affair with the curvy Honey Parker (Yvette Vickers). Her constant ramblings give him all the ammo he needs to have her shipped right back to the Nut House.

Nancy knows what she saw and is convinced that she is no longer the crazy person she once was so she flees her adulterous husband and returns to the dessert to find evidence to prove her story. She finds the UFO but its alien pilot uses a strange ray on her and she soon grows to an enormous size.

The now giant size jilted wife goes on a destructive rampage through the town in search of her husband and his lover. The wrath of a woman scorned is then played out to its fullest extent.

Be careful men. The woman whose heart you break may one day grow to a gigantic size and ruin your weekend. Not to mention the town you live in.

The film was directed by Nathan Juran (credited as Nathan Hertz) and written by Mark Hanna who also penned The Amazing Colossal Man, a film that shared a lot in common with Attack of the 50 Foot Woman. The films star, Allison Hayes, had previously starred in the Francis the Talking Mule films.
