This film is one of the most collectable science fiction films of the 50s. This is also one of those cases where the poster is far better than the film itself!

The science fiction horror film Attack of the 50 Foot Woman was directed by Nathan Juran. The cast includes Allison Hayes, William Hudson, and Yvette Vickers. Wealthy socialite Nancy Fowler Archer (Allison Hayes) is unhappily married to the philandering Harry (William Hudson). After a close encounter with a ginormous alien, Nancy grows to a giant size and takes revenge on her cheating husband. This film has a great tagline: 'A titanic beauty spreads a macabre wave of horror! A terrifying masterpiece of shock and chills!'
