Mars Needs Women (1968 TV Movie)
1/10
The X-15 Footage Is Nice
10 July 2010
Warning: Spoilers
I do not quite know why I had trouble following this film. That might not matter—all that much, except that it seems important that kidnap victims have "to be pretty special to qualify" for abduction, though the victims seem stereotypical to me. I think that I missed something somewhere.

Some of the excellent film work fascinates me, which ought not to have surprised me since the cinematographer was Robert Jessup, who shot "The Acorn People", "Porky's Revenge", and many episodes of "Dallas", which is the location for much of this film. Night scenes here have a serious beauty—sometimes. A scene shot at a service station recalls "Les parapluies de Cherbourg" Apparently, director Larry Buchanan enjoyed making bad movies. He did make one here. Yvonne Craig almost makes seeing this awful movie worthwhile. I do not know if this was before she dated Elvis. Some awful movies deserve a look if you are up late, know all the informational programs on other channels by heart, and you have seen the rerun of "Antiques Road Show" more than ten times. Otherwise, skip this one.
