"Voyage to the Planet of the Prehistoric Women" (1968) is the second of two
reworkings of "Planeta Bur," a Soviet sci-fi film from 1959. The first was the
similarly titled, "Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet" (1962) assembled by
director Curtis Harrington for producer Roger Corman.
"Voyage to the Planet of the Prehistoric Women" was confabulated by Peter Bogdanovich
using the pseudonym, Derek Thomas. Working under the dictum that American
International would buy "Planet" if it had some women in it, he inserted new
footage featuring Mamie Van Doren, a bevy of nubile cuties in white hot pants,
and additional scenes from the Americanized version of another Soviet film,
"Nebo Zovet," ("The Heavens Beckon") from 1962.
This film has been knocking around for years in a horribly faded version. I've
attempted to upgrade it by reconstructing it from the best publicly available
sources.
First of all, I need to disavow the bizarre story that Pathecolor was some
sort of tinting process. Pathecolor was a variant of Eastmancolor (Kodak), and
was capable of stunning color. The stylish Poe adaptions by Roger Corman come
to mind. Unfortunately, Eastmancolor has proven to be quite unstable over the
years, losing density in its yellow and cyan layers until nothing exists but a
washed out magenta. The 16mm print used for the generally available transfer,
is a prime example of color fading, and of a misguided attempt to equalize its
color by adding cyan.
The original "Planeta Bur" was probably filmed in Sovcolor (really Agfacolor
from the World War II era). Though not capable of the range, subtlety or
consistency of Eastmancolor, it did have a pleasing and vibrant color pallet
of its own.
So here is a by no means perfect, but hopefully, much better presentation of
"Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women."
Thanx and a tip o' the hat to Peter Bogdanovich, Roger Corman, Pavel Klushantsev,
Mamie Van Doren, Filmgroup (for not copyrighting it!) and The only film with a
Robot John! ;)

Subject: Humbug...humbug...
...the Earth is being attacked by humbugs! The humbugs are huge and stick
together just like in your pocket, only this time they form an alien space
ship. This film is a bit of an excuse to show clips of old Gamera movies, but
they are all the same so you might not notice. Poor Gamera is really wasting
his/her time on Earth if you ask me. There must be a quieter planet to live on,
and especially one without irritating boy scouts who just get you into fights.
The aliens manage to take over Gamera's mind to make it try to destroy Earth,
much carnage ensues, but thanks to the boy scouts he gets free and it all ends
with a fight to the death with an Alessi Juicy Salif Lemon Juicer. Sadly the
boy scouts don't get killed but I didn't expect they would.
