Missile to the Moon
Two escaped convicts are found hiding in a rocketship built by a renegade inventor, who forces them to become the crew for a trip to the Moon. Also on board, as inadvertent stowaways, are his assistant and his secretary; and none of them are aware that the inventor is actually a Lunarian explorer sent to Earth by the dying Lunar civilization and the only remaining male member of that civilization.
From the archive
“Brain dead” “Delightfully dippy” “Absence of logic” “Reeks of insipidness” (IMDB reviews quotes). The astonishing remake of the jaw-dropping “Cat-Women of the Moon” with juvenile dialog, juvenile delinquents, beauty contest winners and moon Gubmies (see note). The plot and dialog are more ridiculous than the original's. The sets are just as cheesy. The acting is much worse. An entertaining anti-masterpiece that’s bonanza for bad movie aficionados. In other words you gotta see it to believe it. IMDB rating 3.7. Directed by Richard Cunha. Released in 1958. Complete print. NOTE: Gumby was a claymation cartoon character from the early days of TV. TRIVIA: The last film shot at Screencraft Studios. SPECIAL NOTE: “Cat-Women of the Moon” is here: https://archive.org/details/Cat_Women_of_the_Moon
