The fatal flaw in this story is that it is very difficult for me to imagine any Earth man not wanting to be breeding stock for Patricia Laffan. Seriously?
The "devil girl" seems like an angel to me. When Nyah stepped off her ship in that outfit, I was smitten. No one who dresses that well could be all bad!
I hope they got received an Oscar for Patricia Laffen's costume. And wow, what legs! Obviously George Lucas stole the costume to use for Darth Vader. Hazel Court is gorgeous. Couldn't take my eyes off of her. A great cult movie.
I made a black and white oainting of "The Devil Woman from Mars" She sold quickly..Loved the pleather outfit..and head cap..Wow..the original 50s femenist
My favourite recent(ly watched) movie line is from Vice Squad, a sleazy neon-soaked neo-noire from 1983; - Undercover Policewoman points a gun at a pimps face and says "Go ahead and blink, and you'll die in the dark!" '@_@' 👌😸
Ah, the black leather clad Devil Girl Nyah and her walking refrigerator robot, with ray guns and cheesy flying saucer effects. A fairly fun popcorn B-movie. Patricia Laffan was spectacular in QUO VADIS (MGM, 1951) in lavish Technicolor, as Nero's wicked Empress Poppaea, but in this one, she chews up the scenery as well as Joan Crawford.
I love British Budget films…but….now and them you find an A+ budget film like this one…Patricia Laffan skillfully made a terrific performance of what could have been an unserious story. The special effects were pretty good for that time…and…the supporting cast were excellent too…a real gem! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏I loved Johnny the robot..like…the one in Captain Proton 😄😊 Thanks for finding and sharing with us 😉👍👍
I love the innocence of such films like this. Makes me smile every time some old sci fi movie is aired. Two things I fail to understand. (1). Why did not the men just go with her for a fun time? (2). Why did not sexy legs bring other girls with her?
Despite its outrgeousness, everyone manages to pull this off by their sheer enthusiasm and sincerity. That's the great thing about these so-called 'cheesy' '50s sci-fi flicks -- you feel that the characters believe it and they make you believe it too, no matter how far out it is.
It's pretty much like a Theater Play. (Which I do enjoy). After all, movies inherited the spotlight of public entertainment from the theater. This flick would appeal to people then, and they would not have the same criticism as today's viewers. Kudos to the players.
The headgear she wore was defiantly Germanic. She was so hot she could fit into a rave today! My opinion of course! I STILL WOULD LIKE TO GET HER NAME!
@@chrisebbesen5798 Germanic, perhaps. But facially, she's more a Dane or Nordic woman. In reality Patricia Laffan was part Irish, but then many Irish are of Danish descent. So hot she could abduct me w/o use of weapons in quick time.
Grew up in the 50s & 60s living on SciFi and thought I'd seen them all...but missed this one. A little Day the Earth Stood Still with 1/10 the budget. Bizarre dialogue but interesting "future science" ideas. Epic cornball throughout ... I liked it!
Closer to "Bus Stop" than your typical science fiction movie. Beautifully photographed. Much, much more walking back and forth between spaceship and inn than strictly necessary. Something about the instability of "organic metal" should have been worked into the ending. Really nice explosion at the end.
I think a lot of the walking back and forth can be attributed to the fact that this is based on a play. And I agree that the organic metal instability would have been better.
I never knew Martians had such great legs, but I reckon she'd be a very domineering Misses! Great movie, very enjoyable. May I say more enjoyable than half (or more) of the 21st century movie available today. Oh those legs.
Absolutely brilliant ... thankyou very much ... The ship was fantastic . Of the period in every respect . Patricias outfit , just wow . 👍😉😚😁 Robot was terrifying 🙃😜🤗
In the 1950s they actually made hundreds or maybe a thousand of of science fiction movies. Giant ants, giant insect creatures, monsters, people on other planets, destructive kids with supernatural powers, giant robots, etc.
Yeah, these old sci-fi flicks weren't into costumes, makeup, or even spacesuits. I saw one where Earth guys went to Mars and were walking around in coveralls, black military boots, and carrying rifles.
@@componenxactually the green slave girls in Star Trek they were the Masters😮 their men were the slaves and they were slave traders, the green women had a hypnotic affect on them the men had to do their bidding. It was explained on the TV series Enterprise, that's how I found out about it. 👽
@49:30 they actually think a severed lamp cord plugged into a wall outlet will actually kill someone; much less a bulletproof, Devil Girl from Mars? @55:07, "Tommy, did you see a, tall DARK man in there?" lol. @58:05, after the fight: "Let's get him downstairs. We'll...CLEAN HIM UP?" I enjoyed watching this classic sci-fi movie and understand why it's considered a cult classic. Thanks so much for sharing it!
haha NO wonder all the men wanted to go. uhh yeah for good of man kind. No no no let me go I made a promise NOOO lets cut for it see who gets to go. Pretty soon all the women would start to say..heyy what is the deal, I said I love you.
@@pressureworks No true Scott's man, Ock aye Jimmy, What's worn under a Scotsman's kilt/ nothing it's all in perfect working order, etc 😉 I can say that as a colonist named Kennedy
@@leelarson107 Dismal indeed. Compare with robot Gort in "The Day the Earth Stood Still", which preceded this by three years. Even Robbie in Forbidden Planet [1956] was better. . .
Oh dear. At about 4 1:13:49 0:00, I😅 remembered that I needed to recycle some cardboard boxes. The "evil" woman, just was, uh, "lonely". I can appreciate that. And she did bring her own spaceship and everything.
Robot seemed harmless and plodding until I saw it was huge and had the ability to disintegrate anything. I'm glad I was not yet born when this occurred.
I would have been two years old at the time this movie came out. I love the bit where the Mars lady fires her ray gun at the man and he is just left as a pair of glasses on the ground. If she wore those tights and those boots I'm sure loads of Earth men would willingly be her slave...she wouldnt need to control their minds.
@@BigBuzzyBumbleBee I'd love to see what you would have done in 1954. Fools like you thunk you know it all, but you've been spoiled and jaded by generations of people with actual imaginations greater than yours.
Cor !! , Martian Devil Bird in PVC !!! . Not Acadamy but totally hilarious . Great cast and wonderfully corny iack of plot . Cup of tea beats Aliens . Robot was Geyser wearing washing m/c box , with backward facing wellies all painted up . For these alone , 9 out of 10. Thanks sci-fi nutters 😅😂😊 Dave
Must be one of Richard O'briens' favourite movies. They're all here.. Bead and Janet, Dr Scott, Frank, of course, RifRaf, magenta and even a sort of Rocky. Loved every minute! 👏👍
_Wow, my dearest Helen! It seems to be a Véry good one indeed! I hope you enjoy this old movie from 69 years ago with us on CCC movie chat at live! God bless you always, my dearest Helen!_ 🤩🤩🤗🤗
@@helenpoornima5126 _Aww, my dearest Helen! I'm glad tô know that you had liked my comments! Thanks a lot for your kindness! God bless you always, my Sweet Helen from my heart!_ 🤩🤩🤗🤗❤❤
i thought it was going to be real cheezy or something but it was fairly good, and with fairly good actors. It's worth watching if you like old science fiction movies.
@@JS-fe8sx I would have preferred the black only, or the white only version. This was one of the awfullest (if that is a real superlative) films ever made.
