Invasion of the Saucer Men
Edward L. Cahn directed and monster-maker Paul Blaisdell built the little aliens with the great big heads for this lighthearted sci-film film released in 1957. As usual in an AIP picture, it’s teenagers to the rescue when a flying saucer sets down in the middle of lover’s lane. Steven Terrell and Gloria Castillo play the love-struck high-schoolers while Lyn Osborn and future Riddler Frank Gorshin provide the comic relief.
