Attack of the 50 Foot Woman

Attack of the 50 Foot Woman is a science fiction film released in 1958. The picture stars Allison Hayes as Nancy Archer, a rich cheated wife whose encounter with aliens in the California desert results in her growing 50 feet (over 15 metres) tall. The German title of this film gives the height as 20 metres.

1993 remake

The movie was remade in 1993 as Attack of the 50 Ft. Woman, starring Daryl Hannah in the leading role. Although it was a low-budget production, the 1990s special effects were sufficient to make Hannah a convincing giantess. One memorable scene showed her using a swimming pool for a bathtub, whilst talking to her normal-sized husband (played by Daniel Baldwin) on the poolside. The movie also had a strong feminist undercurrent; the heroine's "enlargement" is a metaphor for her emancipation from the men who previously had controlled her life.
