Editorial Reviews

"This fascinating low budget, science fiction movie was produced by Roger Corman while on a holiday in Puerto Rico. The plot centers on the destruction of the world by a nuclear device and the survival of a trio because they happen to be scuba diving when the explosion occurs. Antony Carbone's portrayal of a carefree gambler is realistic and his depiction of a suspicious, possessive and jealous husband in the latter part of the movie too is convincing. Betsy Jones Moreland uses her charm to good effect throughout the narrative and Robert Towne, who also wrote the screenplay, plays an excellent supporting role. Roger Corman captures the emotional interplay between the three characters, extremely well. The build-up of jealousy between the two men is portrayed beautifully. The selection of locations - especially the one for the final scenes - is excellent and shows Corman's insightfulness as director. The view of several boats bobbing up and down on the deserted waterfront creates a feeling of utter desolation. Witness this thrilling drama which has you guessing about who will win the hand of the last woman on earth till the end!"

This review is from: Last Woman on Earth (DVD)

This one starts off fairly well. We are introduced to the three main, and as it turns out ONLY characters at a cockfight (!) in Puerto Rico. Antony Carbone (Bucket Of Blood, Pit And The Pendulum) is a self-made zillionaire, Betsy Jones-Mooreland is his wife, and Robert Towne is their lawyer. The trio heads out for a day of fun and scuba-diving, unaware that while they are busy swimming below, the world has come to an end! Upon surfacing, they realize the air is unbreathable, so they use their oxygen tanks to survive until they reach the safety of the shore. It appears that the jungle fauna has replenished the oxygen supply in short order. Corman shows us some desolate, semi-disturbing shots of the aftermath of whatever holocaust has occurred, including a dead child on the side of the road and a ghostly car hitting a curb. Unfortunately, this all happens within the first twenty minutes. The final hour and ten minutes is like an episode of the world's most tedious soap-opera. The three characters argue, fight, pout, and talk-talk-talk their way to the final credits, mostly whining about their "love triangle" situation or waxing philosophical about the evils of money. There is NO action or intrigue (unless you consider half-hearted fist-fights exciting), just excrutiating oration and endless bloviating! I was tempted to throw a lamp through my own TV screen! Good luck with this one...

This review is from: Last Woman on Earth (1960) [Remastered Edition] (DVD)

Great film for a decent price. The concept of the movie itself, allows the viewer to think about what they would do in the same situation. It shows basic human instinct, and a world where there are two adams, for the one eve.

Great video and audio quality.

This review is from: Last Woman on Earth (1960) [Remastered Edition] (DVD)

Imagine that a nukeular bomb went off and suddenly there was only one girl left in the world and you were one of two guys. How hard do you think the two of you would fight over that girl? That's the question posed by this excellent Roger Corman explotation film. Of course the girl is gorgeous and of course the guys come up w ith ever more ingenious ways to get her attention. This is a classic black and white "B" movie.
