Rubbish collector and amateur inventor Artie Pinsetter (Lou Costello) hopes that someday one of his inventions will make him wealthy and important enough for him to marry his sweetheart Emmy Lou (Dorothy Provine). After one of his creations, a portable computer named Max, tells Emmy Lou that Artie cannot marry her, she runs off into a smoky canyon and starts to grow. Artie seeks help from Emmy's uncle (Gale Gordon) who misunderstands Artie and thinks she is "big" with child. He sends the justice of the peace to marry the couple. He is also running for governor and does not want the public to know about his niece's problem. If that is not enough, the army believes her to be a giant Martian and sends out troops to destroy her. Empowered by her new height, Emmy rampages through town and takes command of her life. Max is also able to change the space-time continuum helping Artie escape the army, which is chasing him while dressed as confederates and then cavemen. Lou Costello made this parody of The Attack of the 50-Foot Woman without his partner Bud Abbott right before Costello died. --Margaret Griffis

This is my review of the SPHE edition.
The video quality is great.
The film is not so.
There are no subtitles.
I recommend this release for Abbot and Costello completists (even if it's a Costello solo).

Costello was tired of "carrying" Abbott and tired of slapstick. He wanted roles to show his range as an actor. Abbott said, "Call me when you're ready to get back together." Costello never called. He probably wished he would have. His last movie, his only starring film without Abbott, is an embarrassment. You can almost read Costello's mind' "what am I doing in this piece of junk? " Poor Lou doesn't get a laugh in the whole film and he just looks sad and lost. He used to be able to sell an audience the most ridiculous situations. In this, he can't even sell walking down the street. Costello never lived to see the premiere. What a shame that this was his last film.

Do Not Purchase This Bootleg DVD! Quality Is Atrocious!!! I Am Waiting For The Legit DVD! This Title Is Owned By Sony Home Entertainment, Which Owns All Columbia Pictures Titles! The One Star That I Have Given Is TOO GENEROUS! But Amazon Doesn't Allow Reviews With No Stars!
