Was Zsa Zsa Gabor on-board? According to “Queen of Outer Space”, she was from Venus.

I thought the creature was fantastically well done.

Knowing the Sicilians, it would end up in a large pot of spaghetti sauce. Or as calamari.

Yes, Perry Mason's (Raymond Burr) Paul Drake, PI
He was also the son of Hedda Hopper (a nat’l movie gossip
columnist)

I remember that one. The army fired cannon at him while he was on the Colusium. Great fight between the creature and an elephant.

I enjoyed 5 Million Miles to Earth (Quatermass and the Pit) more

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062168/

It was one of the spookiest movies I saw in my childhood and was excited to view it again nearly 30 years later.

The DVD’s on my list to add to the collection.

OMG! This is something else Everything we’re living for the
past years has been seen in “Quartermass”. Think about it;
the devil, aliens, grasshoppers, propaganda from DOD, race purge, ESP. May be difficult to believe but last evening I was actually watching Quartermass and planned to post it today.
Like minds and all? Needless to say, this is one movie well
remembered.

Not even one for the reporter. Do believe she was more ‘into’
Hopper. After all, they did work at the same institute; the difference being - she worked with her camera.
