The fatal flaw in this story is that it is very difficult for me to imagine any Earth man not wanting to be breeding stock for Patricia Laffan. Seriously?
The "devil girl" seems like an angel to me. When Nyah stepped off her ship in that outfit, I was smitten. No one who dresses that well could be all bad!
I hope they got received an Oscar for Patricia Laffen's costume. And wow, what legs! Obviously George Lucas stole the costume to use for Darth Vader. Hazel Court is gorgeous. Couldn't take my eyes off of her. A great cult movie.
I made a black and white oainting of "The Devil Woman from Mars" She sold quickly..Loved the pleather outfit..and head cap..Wow..the original 50s femenist
Ah, the black leather clad Devil Girl Nyah and her walking refrigerator robot, with ray guns and cheesy flying saucer effects. A fairly fun popcorn B-movie. Patricia Laffan was spectacular in QUO VADIS (MGM, 1951) in lavish Technicolor, as Nero's wicked Empress Poppaea, but in this one, she chews up the scenery as well as Joan Crawford.
My favourite recent(ly watched) movie line is from Vice Squad, a sleazy neon-soaked neo-noire from 1983; - Undercover Policewoman points a gun at a pimps face and says "Go ahead and blink, and you'll die in the dark!" '@_@' 👌😸
Despite its outrgeousness, everyone manages to pull this off by their sheer enthusiasm and sincerity. That's the great thing about these so-called 'cheesy' '50s sci-fi flicks -- you feel that the characters believe it and they make you believe it too, no matter how far out it is.
It's pretty much like a Theater Play. (Which I do enjoy). After all, movies inherited the spotlight of public entertainment from the theater. This flick would appeal to people then, and they would not have the same criticism as today's viewers. Kudos to the players.
I love British Budget films…but….now and them you find an A+ budget film like this one…Patricia Laffan skillfully made a terrific performance of what could have been an unserious story. The special effects were pretty good for that time…and…the supporting cast were excellent too…a real gem! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏I loved Johnny the robot..like…the one in Captain Proton 😄😊 Thanks for finding and sharing with us 😉👍👍
The headgear she wore was defiantly Germanic. She was so hot she could fit into a rave today! My opinion of course! I STILL WOULD LIKE TO GET HER NAME!
@@chrisebbesen5798 Germanic, perhaps. But facially, she's more a Dane or Nordic woman. In reality Patricia Laffan was part Irish, but then many Irish are of Danish descent. So hot she could abduct me w/o use of weapons in quick time.
Closer to "Bus Stop" than your typical science fiction movie. Beautifully photographed. Much, much more walking back and forth between spaceship and inn than strictly necessary. Something about the instability of "organic metal" should have been worked into the ending. Really nice explosion at the end.
I think a lot of the walking back and forth can be attributed to the fact that this is based on a play. And I agree that the organic metal instability would have been better.
Grew up in the 50s & 60s living on SciFi and thought I'd seen them all...but missed this one. A little Day the Earth Stood Still with 1/10 the budget. Bizarre dialogue but interesting "future science" ideas. Epic cornball throughout ... I liked it!
I would have been two years old at the time this movie came out. I love the bit where the Mars lady fires her ray gun at the man and he is just left as a pair of glasses on the ground. If she wore those tights and those boots I'm sure loads of Earth men would willingly be her slave...she wouldnt need to control their minds.
@@pressureworks No true Scott's man, Ock aye Jimmy, What's worn under a Scotsman's kilt/ nothing it's all in perfect working order, etc 😉 I can say that as a colonist named Kennedy
In the 1950s they actually made hundreds or maybe a thousand of of science fiction movies. Giant ants, giant insect creatures, monsters, people on other planets, destructive kids with supernatural powers, giant robots, etc.
Absolutely brilliant ... thankyou very much ... The ship was fantastic . Of the period in every respect . Patricias outfit , just wow . 👍😉😚😁 Robot was terrifying 🙃😜🤗
Yeah, these old sci-fi flicks weren't into costumes, makeup, or even spacesuits. I saw one where Earth guys went to Mars and were walking around in coveralls, black military boots, and carrying rifles.

@@leelarson107 Dismal indeed. Compare with robot Gort in "The Day the Earth Stood Still", which preceded this by three years. Even Robbie in Forbidden Planet [1956] was better. . .
@@JS-fe8sx I would have preferred the black only, or the white only version. This was one of the awfullest (if that is a real superlative) films ever made.
i thought it was going to be real cheezy or something but it was fairly good, and with fairly good actors. It's worth watching if you like old science fiction movies.
@@BigBuzzyBumbleBee I'd love to see what you would have done in 1954. Fools like you thunk you know it all, but you've been spoiled and jaded by generations of people with actual imaginations greater than yours.

I never knew Martians had such great legs, but I reckon she'd be a very domineering Misses! Great movie, very enjoyable. May I say more enjoyable than half (or more) of the 21st century movie available today. Oh those legs.

Interesting movie. You would think they could have come up with a more realistic looking robot though. Hazel Court is a beauty. Loved her in "Twilight Zone" too. Joe S.
@49:30 they actually think a severed lamp cord plugged into a wall outlet will actually kill someone; much less a bulletproof, Devil Girl from Mars? @55:07, "Tommy, did you see a, tall DARK man in there?" lol. @58:05, after the fight: "Let's get him downstairs. We'll...CLEAN HIM UP?" I enjoyed watching this classic sci-fi movie and understand why it's considered a cult classic. Thanks so much for sharing it!
Oh dear. At about 4 1:13:49 0:00, I😅 remembered that I needed to recycle some cardboard boxes. The "evil" woman, just was, uh, "lonely". I can appreciate that. And she did bring her own spaceship and everything.
Must be one of Richard O'briens' favourite movies. They're all here.. Bead and Janet, Dr Scott, Frank, of course, RifRaf, magenta and even a sort of Rocky. Loved every minute! 👏👍

RIP Patricia Laffan our first Darth Vader.
Thanks for this oldie.
Yep, she was a gem! If she came to take me to Mars I'd go!
This was completly unbelievable. I was able to suspend disbelief up until the point where the Scottish bartender said: "Drinks are on the house!"
Obviously under the influence of a Martian force reversing his natural proclivities.
hahahahahahahahaha
ahahahahahahahaha🤣😂🤣
Yes, I agree. Story line lost all chance of plausibility there.
Could use one
I love these old movies. They are just so much fun. True escapism!
YES! And the "nostalgic" ( if you will 🥴 ) background mood music...
Awesome movie 🎬
Scotland never changes. It looks like that today. Thank you for posting this gem.
scotland never switched over to color
What,
black and white and covered in UFOs?
Studios look that way.
great sets
The "devil girl" seems like an angel to me. When Nyah stepped off her ship in that outfit, I was smitten. No one who dresses that well could be all bad!
Lol!
The costume depicted on the poster was even better.
"Mrs. Jamieson this is Nyah. She's from Mars."
"Oh I suppose we'll need another bed."
I love these old B&W Sci fi flicks from the 50's.
I hope they got received an Oscar for Patricia Laffen's costume. And wow, what legs!
Obviously George Lucas stole the costume to use for Darth Vader. Hazel Court is gorgeous. Couldn't take my eyes off of her. A great cult movie.

She sold quickly..Loved the pleather outfit..and head cap..Wow..the original 50s femenist
@@zorkwork3841 She had the same regal bearing when she played Poppaea to Peter Ustinov's Nero in "Quo Vadis".
I'm with you here... Patricia Laffen is my kind of girl... She was only 167 cm tall....
If a gal like her came in a flying saucer and said the men have to go with her to her planet I'd run to the ship to be the first in line. LOL
I'll stand in line for it.. LOL @@Joe-mz6dc
“Come little boy I will show you wonders you have never seen before”. Flipping heck, I’d have gone with her in a shot.
The best Dominatrix in this movie isn't the Devil girl ...it's Mrs Jamieson ..I'm sure she had boots in her wardrobe.
And an SS tattoo under her left arm.
Pienso igual !!!! Está muy buena la Marciana !!!!
Always beware of the nerdy quiet ones.
"Come, I will show you wonders you have never seen before" Yes m'am! I'm comming!
Scoot over lady, I'll drive!
Hell yes I would've went with her also and if she could come BK I would go with her today for sure
"I will show you wonders you have never seen before" The kid is like, "awesome!"
For 1954 the saucer landing sequence was impressive.
True but even today they think a rocket can reach Mars. Nothing can hold that much fuel.

This is what makes me respect the work artists do in Sci Fi films to this day.
No they don't. This is just a soft porn movie.
@@ms-jl6dl "Porn"? Ya gotta be kiddin'.
She was the inspiration for Darth Vader.
The robot looks like an old refrigerator. I love it!
In old films, whenever someone gets hurt, the remedy is alcohol. "Quick, get him a drink!"
Ahhh, to have lived then.
Always seemed to be the go to plan
Albert needs a huge drink
Nowadays it's "Quick - the antidepressants!"
I love how in the book Dracula, they'll be like "She's lost a lot of blood-- Quick, get her some brandy!"
how lovely, I can watch it and watch again and again. Patricia Laffan. how I love her.
Man! Those legs go all the way up. Let’s go play spaceship !
A solid 10 all the way !
The golden age of sci-fi. These "B" movies were the beginning of the movie magic of today. Lots of trial and error with the effects. 👽👽
The devil girls outfit caused...stirrings. 😳
hairs kinda flat, but i get it
Yeah 👍
That's funny
Lmaooooo 😂❤
I bet Bruce Wayne has a 'recreational' copy of this movie, back at the mansion.... 26:20
Usually when the aliens come down they probe but this time they sent a dominatrix 😊
I love these old sci Fi movies
Flying Saucers were sure noisy back then. But I guess that's the nature of those early anti-matter inverse fusion drives.
any shade tree mechanic could tell them they needed a flux capacitor.
The aliens didn't consider it an issue as sound didn't carry in empty space. They didn't figure on air being such a good medium.
I believe they finally learned how to mk them stealth now a days. Lol
Also the martian's was prettier bk then they got old an ugly now
Only two Things worth watc hing this movie : Patricia Laffan and her costume.
Her legs are another 2 reasons!
I couldnt help dying from laughter at the robot. the shuffle.
Well, at least we know that they hired the handicapped.
'Oh, well that will mean another bed.' Damn Martians never make reservations.

Actually spelled Chani (I grew up on Starlog magazine!).
Devil Girl still gave a commanding performance even without the use of her whip.
I'd still prefer Hazel Court or Adrienne Corri.
The headgear she wore was defiantly Germanic. She was so hot she could fit into a rave today! My opinion of course! I STILL WOULD LIKE TO GET HER NAME!
@@chrisebbesen5798 Germanic, perhaps. But facially, she's more a Dane or Nordic woman. In reality Patricia Laffan was part Irish, but then many Irish are of Danish descent. So hot she could abduct me w/o use of weapons in quick time.

@@JustWasted3HoursHere hmmm yeah, neat idea. trying to figure out Martian tech is a neat idea.
Space aliens are still a grift!!

Great Movie. Great Cast. Devil Girl was very well played. Enchantress as well as Ruthless.
A me sembra paziente e ingenua.
Great to see Private Fraser again. Obviously..."we're doomed".
it doesnt get any better than this
This movie was better than any junk in Hollywood the last 40 years
I first saw Patricia Laffan in Quo Vadis and I was (and still am) captivated by her lynx-like beauty 😍
I love these oldies
That was quite an impressive explosion.
I love her leather costume and cape..🖤💥🔥
There could’ve been a sequel. Stud farm on Mars!
Poor ol' Devil Girl, thwarted in the end. She was just trying to collect Earth's men as breeding stock. Let her do her work.
Don't know what all the guys were so worried about. I'd have definitely been up for breeding with her!
Grew up in the 50s & 60s living on SciFi and thought I'd seen them all...but missed this one. A little Day the Earth Stood Still with 1/10 the budget. Bizarre dialogue but interesting "future science" ideas. Epic cornball throughout ... I liked it!

Don't let that robot chase you - you'd have NO chance! Loved it.

Willingly 💕💕❤❤💖💖💋💋💥💥
Irresistible invite, you take your chances!
YEP
Me too.
ME TOO, Laffan is HOT !!!!!1
"Take me, Nyah!! Take ME!" LOL
Great! The music is fabulous, and the combination of the big orchestra and the cardboard robot is inspired.
She is out of this world!
Sadly. We need more like her (minus the villainy).
This movie was 100% better than it had any right to be in 1954.

We need more devil girls
Wow, Adrienne Corri AND Hazel Court! Doesn't get much better than this. I don't think I've ever seen a spaceship make a noisier landing, though. 😂
and how!
In the end, it turned out that the Martian's reactor safety system was programmed by Microsoft.
Always enjoy seeing Private Frazier's Adventures.

Cult Classic ! Madame Laffan is so full of style & grace !
I used to live in West Virginia...we were always being kidnapped by UFOs for breeding stock but they just put us back - none of us made the grade.
Crazy crazy
NOT ONLY IN USA are sightings
At least the aliens perfected their anal probe technology.
As a son of West Virginia, I can attest to the truth of this statement :)
This comment was better than the movie!
The space ship, standing still on the ground, looks like a condo in Miami.
If all the woman from Mars or other planets look like Devil Girl let's invite some more to Earth!

Yes! One of sci-fi's best robots! Chani looks like an out of control Frigidaire prototype.
I saw this a verrrry long time ago, and my friends and I all laughed at what a dismal attempt at robot design that thing was.
