Queen of Outer Space is a 1958 American CinemaScope science fiction feature film
starring Zsa Zsa Gabor, Eric Fleming, and Laurie Mitchell in a tale about a revolt
against a cruel Venusian queen. The screenplay by Charles Beaumont was based on an
outline supplied by Ben Hecht. The film was directed by Edward Bernds, has been
broadcast on television, and has been released to VHS and DVD.




Capt. Patterson (Eric Fleming) and his space crew (Dave Willock, Patrick Waltz, and
Paul Birch) crash land on Venus and are captured. They learn the planet is under the
dictatorship of cruel Queen Yllana (Laurie Mitchell), a masked woman who has banished
men from the planet. In the palace, the astronauts are aided by a beautiful courtier
named Talleah (Zsa Zsa Gabor) and her friends (Lisa Davis, Barbara Darrow, and Marilyn
Buferd). The women long for the love of men again and plot to overthrow the evil Queen.
When Patterson has the opportunity to remove the Queen's mask, he discovers she has been horribly disfigured
by radiation burns caused by men and their wars. In a fury, the Queen decides to destroy
Earth and its warlike peoples but she dies in the attempt. The Venusians
are free again to enjoy the love of men.
