Queen of Outer Space
“Mankind's first fantastic flight to Venus - the female planet!”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 68, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Astronauts reach Venus and discover that interplanetary diplomacy mostly involves flirting and dodging an angry queen. Zsa Zsa Gabor, lavish colour and a very unconvincing superweapon keep this dated space pageant busy. Expect old-fashioned gender politics along with the cardboard.

The review finds Gabor better than expected and the colour appealing, but singles out the flimsy weapon and weak comedy; it gives only a qualified recommendation. Full review text consulted on 2026-11-10.
