An experimental rocket launch sends missile expert Steve Dayton (Richard Travis), his fiancée June (Cathy Downs), and escaped convict stowaways Lon (Gary Clarke) and Gary (Tommy Cook) to the Moon. There they encounter Rock Creatures (actors in stiff sponge rubber costumes), as well as the Lido (K.T. Stevens), the female ruler of a secret lunar society, and her glamorous followers (among them Laurie Mitchell, the Queen of Outer Space herself, along with a gaggle of beauty queens). Dayton is mistaken for a Moon man sent to Earth years before to establish a new home for his people, and is quickly shepherded into marrying the treacherous Alpha (the atrocious Nina Bara), who later murders the Lido and assumes command. June's consternation over this arrangement earns her a date with the Dark Creature (a ridiculous spider puppet, later seen in World Without End), while Lon conspires with a smitten Moon maiden (Marjorie Hellen) to overthrow Alpha, rescue Dayton and June, and return safely to Earth. Woefully cheap and naïve, this remake of 1953's Cat Women of the Moon makes that notorious sci-fi cheapie seem like a paragon of logic and talent by comparison. For those with patience and nostalgia for Saturday afternoon matinee/late movie fodder, Missile to the Moon offers a wealth of juvenile delights, with its improbable monsters, wonky science, and serial-style hidden civilization. Director Richard Cunha was responsible for some of the most uninspired, slapdash science fiction titles of the '50s, including She Demons, Frankenstein's Daughter, and Giant From the Unknown, which played on a double bill with Missile to the Moon in 1958.
