The title Prehistoric Women was re-used in 1966 by Hammer Film Studios. (The British title was Slave Girls.) At any rate, this Prehistoric Women has nothing to do with the 1950 film.

The most notable bit of casting is German pinup girl Barbara Valentin in her first credited role. Barbara was a glamorous blonde of the Bardot/Diana Dors/Jayne Mansfield variety.

Though the hoi polloi loathed Mickey Spillane’s pulpy-yet-cynical series of novels about tough guy private dick Mike Hammer, the public loved them and lapped them up

This seemingly forgotten drive-in gem predates 1970s disaster films by nearly a decade, but captures many of the same elements and features the sexy Janet Munro.

1960’s pop is all over this and girl watchers will in particular dig it. The giant body part props, with the exception of Joy Harmon’s massive bust, are patently goofy-looking.

This one is a delightful and perfect pulp space opera science fiction, starring John Agar and bombshell Gretta Thyssen, as herself, despite this taking place some years in the future.
