To an inn in Scotland comes a reporter, a scientist, a woman escaping from a sour relationship, an escaped criminal and a woman from the planet Mars dressed in black leather who wants men to help repopulate her world. Based on a play and mainly set in the inn this cult film has a charm about it that is hard to define. Perhaps it is the beguiling design of the the space ship and the robot and Nyah's costume. Perhaps it is the sterling way the cast keep a straight face while reciting the unintentionally hilarious dialogue. Perhaps it is the melodramatic music score pounding away. Whatever it is, this is a movie to treasure.
The cast do their best with their roles, and what a cast! Hazel Court, Joseph Tomelty, Sophie Stewart, John Laurie and Adrienne Corri but even they are outshone by Patricia Laffan as the alien who manages to do sinister and sexy simultaneously. The Danziger Brothers who produced the film made some better and many worse films but never one quite like it.
