Plot

The picture stars Allison Hayes as Nancy Archer, a woman who's been called "the little lady". Her father wants control of her business, and her husband wants her 50 million inheritance so he could live with his mistress, Honey Parker. Nancy is left to relive her sexual frustration when she encounters a spaceship, carrying a 30 foot tall extraterrestrial who needs Earth "rocks" to function, meaning diamonds. Nancy holds one of the largest "rocks" known: the Jewel of India. The townspeople initially scoff at this tale. Harry (William Hudson) sees this as an opportunity to get Nancy in an asylum. The next night, Nancy encounters the alien and Harry thinks that the alien would kill her so he leaves. The alien's ship zaps her with a beam of light and takes her diamond. Over the next few days, Nancy sees giant footprints around her house. The doctors explained that she was exposed to some radiation, possibly from the UFO. Suddenly, Nancy begins to grow. Harry and Honey (Yvette Vickers) give her a drug the doctors prescribed for her. When they reach her room they discover that she was at a massive size and her hair had turned blond. She was then chained down. Despite the restraints, Nancy keeps growing until she bursts right through the roof of her own mansion. Dressed in a giant towel and bikini, she seeks revenge on the men that wronged her including her cheating husband Harry and his lover Honey. While she was squeezing the life out of Harry, the sheriff fires a riot gun. She walkes into a power line and falls to the ground dead with Harry still in her hand.

A French poster for the 1993 remake starring Daryl Hannah.

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. Whenever she gets angry, she starts to grow. And this movie is a lttle more revealling. 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.

1995 parody

Attack Of The 60 Foot Centerfold parodied the original film.

In 1995, Fred Olen Ray produced a parody entitled Attack of the 60 Foot Centerfold, starring J.J.North and Tammy Parks. Beyond the basic premise, the plot had little in common with the original movie, being concerned with the side-effects of a beauty-enhancing formula on two ambitious girl models. The movie was deliberately farcical and made on an extremely low budget; the illusion of size-difference was achieved using forced perspective, unlike the earlier movies which used composite imaging.
