comment |
Attack of the 50 Foot Woman is a 1958 American black-and-white Science Fiction film directed by Nathan Juran (credited as Nathan Hertz), which acts as something of a Distaff Counterpart to The Amazing Colossal Man. One of the classic B-Movies, it is well remembered for its rather silly premise, as well as being a rather large source of Fanservice, and was remade for HBO in 1993, directed by Christopher Guest.The basic plot: Nancy Archer (Allison Hayes), a rich California woman with a drinking problem and a cheating husband, has a close encounter with aliens while driving out in the desert. Attempting to convince her skeptical husband Harry (William Hudson) of what she saw, she takes him back out to the desert, where he promptly abandons her once the aliens reappear. She's found later, and her husband plots to kill her, but she's grown into a giant in her sleep. Nancy goes on a classic Kaiju rampage upon awakening, looking for her husband. During her rampage, she kills the other woman (Yvette Vickers) and kidnaps Harry King Kong style. She's eventually killed by an exploding power line transformer, and her husband thus dies with her.The remake, starring Daryl Hannah, Daniel Baldwin, and William Windom, ramps the unsympathetic portrayal of her husband up to eleven, and has a much happier ending for Nancy. It could be seen as a tongue-in-cheek version of a Lifetime original movie: Every man is despicable or useless, and all the women, even her husband's mistress, get sympathetic portrayals and happy endings!On February 1, 2024, it was announced that the film would undergo a second remake, this time with Tim Burton directing and Gillian Flynn (of Gone Girl fame) writing the script.Obviously the Trope Namer for Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever. |

comment |
The Mistress: Honey plays the mistress to both Nancy's husband and father. Surprisingly, she's played sympathetically, and Nancy gives her advice when she catches her during the rampage instead of squishing her. |

Death by Woman Scorned |
| Attack of the 50 Foot Woman / int_9ed6761e |
comment |
Death by Woman Scorned: Nancy kills Honey by dropping a roof beam on top of her. It's unclear whether she then kills Harry by squeezing the life out of him (he is heard saying "I can't breathe!" when she picks him up) or else he got killed during the transformer explosion that does Nancy in at the end. |

comment |
Feminist Fantasy: This is a movie that ends with three giant women keeping their husbands/boyfriends in a jar as they all fly off in the spaceship! Also, the closest thing to a sympathetic male character is the sheriff, who is morally neutral. Even Nancy's husband's mistress is treated more sympathetically than in the original. |

Lonely Rich Kid: Her husband's a philandering asshole and her father only cares because he needs her to sign papers so he can keep accessing her trust fund. Her only friend is her psychiatrist. |

| Attack of the 50 Foot Woman / int_bda94f9d |
comment |
Film Posters: One of the most iconic in cinema history, better known than the film itself. One notable fact about the poster: The woman depicted is quite clearly not fifty feet tall. If you look at the people on the ground she's more like one hundred feet tall. You've heard that Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale - well apparently, neither do B-movie poster artists! |

| Attack of the 50 Foot Woman / int_bee8baee |
comment |
Faint in Shock: Harry attempts to cause Nancy to suffer a heart attack and die by deliberately insulting and angering her. Nancy only faints instead, but Harry believes himself to have succeeded in killing her and drives away from the scene. Nancy later comes back for revenge, but only after spending most of the night lying sprawled on top of the house she collapsed onto, completely passed out. |
