Plot
Turkish sci-fi comedy from 1955. It’s recommended for fans of old Turkish movies and psychotronic cult films. It has a quite different feel than the more familiar superhero films from the country like Kilink Istanbulda, etc. It more closely resembles something like Abbot and Costello On Mars, with the addition of belly dancing. There are leotard-clad female aliens, a Plan 9-style spaceship, a Marilyn Monroe imitator.
Sinekatalog’s take
A Turkish science-fiction comedy that drops alien women, a cardboard spaceship and some belly dancing into Istanbul. It is kitsch in the best and worst senses. Fun for psychotronic-movie fans willing to forgive the budget.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
