I wouldn't call it one of my favorite 1950's Sci-Fi movies, but it's still memorable and enjoyable. It's light entertainment at best, and fun to watch on a rainy afternoon or evening. Don't expect a pristine sharp blu-ray, because it's only fair as far as blu-ray resolution goes. Probably better than DVD image quality, but not by a big leap for sure. But if you collect 1950's Sci-Fi then this definitely belongs in your collection, because it's still the best image quality to date. Extras or bonus content is simply a commentary by Tom Weaver and Yvette Vickers. It's strange hearing her upbeat perky comments considering her sad death later. Her mummified body was found in her hillside home where it's said she lay dead for up to two years before being discovered. But her comments are enjoyable and enlightening. The special effects can be ultra-inferior at times. A few obvious mistakes like the giant alien (not the 50 foot woman, but the alien from the space ship) picking up a 1957 or 1958 Plymouth station wagon, then dropping it, and having it be a late 1940's station wagon as it hits the ground. The movie has a simple script, nothing complex, just a simple enjoyable 1950's sci-fi movies that was enjoyed at the drive-ins and theaters in 1958. The launching of Russia's "Sputnik" the first satellite into space in 1957 obviously had a big influence on this movie. Because the "round" space vehicle is never called a "spaceship" "flying saucer" "ufo" or anything other than a "satellite" by anyone in the movie. But if you like to collect 1950's sci-fi, this belongs in your collection, and I recommend it, even with all it's shortcomings.
Warner Archive Collection releases on Blu-ray this 1958 camp classic starring Allison Hays as a troubled married woman who comes into repeated contact with a UFO, whose sole giant male occupant's attempt to grab her somehow results in her later growth into the titular "titan". Utterly inept, shoddily made film with a famous poster that delivers none of the depicted action! Nonetheless this has a devoted cult following, whom I'm sure will like the fine HD upgrade of the 2007 DVD that ports over those extras, though nothing new was added. Good for laughs only.
