The Earth men's macho, testosterone-fueled bravado is as high as the the ladies hemlines and they soon spring to action to try to prevent Earth’s destruction. A highlight of the film is the women’s unlikely attire. The Venusians flaunt perfect hair, makeup, and 1950’s fashions, despite living in an advanced technical civilisation supposedly free...
