Review: Weak Points, We'll Take Care of the Rest..."This is the finest film ever made.
I must take issue with those who continue to assert the superiority of PLAN NINE and BRIDE OF THE MONSTER over this obviuosly transcendental and significant tale. It is not a reliance on popular cat imagery that rescues this film from oblivion. It is the obvious importance of a voyage to a lost vessel of a planet, populated entirely by Cat-females, which must somehow be rectified or modified by earthlings, that launches this stretch of celluloid into the immortality it deserves. ..and don't think it was easy for Victor Jory and Co.! These cat-women put up one heck of a fight ! So truly, a reorientation of prioirities in the film-world is in order. I have not yet seen the famous DEVIL GIRL FROM MARS. I am, however, familiar with the Ed Wood, and cognate, creations. Few connect up with CAT-WOMEN for sheer relevancy in our day. Where would we be without the catharsis of dive-bombing spiders frightening the likes of Mary Windsor? Or the specter of evil she-demons speaking through her as though through tongues of possession?
Can we honestly admit to a seperation of soul from the desire of the sweeter Cat-Women to date earthmen, and sip coke by the seashores of earth, itself? Who has not felt the frustrations of an amorous Jory, who must ride his affections for the alluring yet troubled Ms. Windsor over the quaking, surging plot of this mighty film? I can, nor need, speak no more. You can surely begin to sense now, why this film is a necessity, and why it transcends other cinematic efforts. CAT WOMEN OF THE MOON has stood too long in the shadows of strong, but lesser efforts such as ROBOT MONSTER. Surely it deserves to stand along side of them. Buy either edition now. I long for the DVD to surface, that I might always have an extra on hand when travelling.

Summary: EVERY MAN A TIGER
Review: While it may never win any awards, CAT WOMEN OF THE MOON does often win fans. At once overly written, then totally barren at other points, shoddy effects, bad science and coupled with second rate acting and very linear direction (everyone seems to move from right to left in this film), this is a film most would find hard to love. But it's not without its charms... despite its television running time of 64 mins, and the fact that it was originally released in 3D (presented in 2D on this DVD), CAT WOMEN OF THE MOON has a lot of connections with other B films of the era. The rockets used here will appear again in PROJECT MOONBASE, even the cockpit of the space craft will be redressed and reused for P.B. The SPIDER that appears in this film was one of the most often used B picture props from the 50's - it would also appear in MESA OF LOST WOMEN and MISSLE TO THE MOON - which was a remake (yes, beleive it or not - a remake!) of CAT WOMEN OF THE MOON. The space suits and helmets would make their way into ABBOTT & COSTELLO GO TO VENUS - in the end C.W.O.T.M. is rare film and very fun in its own way. The casual viewer may be put off by it, but for collectors of this kind film this is must for any library.
