As part of a plot to take over the planet by procreating, one of the intergalactic beings (Tom Tryon) marries an unsuspecting earthling (Gloria Talbott), who gradually catches on and attempts to thwart the conspiracy. A gem of the 1950s science-fiction genre despite its unfortunately campy title. [More]

Lacks the polish of the science fiction classics of that era...but it shares the sincerity and appealing earnestness...

Popular cult film that, like I Walked With a Zombie, has the unfortunate distinction of being a quality picture saddled with a wretched title.

Forget the title. A lot of fun and it is even semi-intelligent.
