Voyage To The Planet Of Prehistoric Women (1968)

A spaceship with three astronauts lands on Venus to search for two other astronauts who landed there previously. Unbeknownst to them, the planet is populated by sexy blonde women led by Mamie Van Doren! Directed by Peter Bogdanovich (LAST PICTURE SHOW) under the pseudonym of Derek Thomas. Inept seems like such an insufficient word in describing this film. Roger Corman took the Russian sci-fi film PLANETA BUR and dubbing scenes from the film into English while having Bogdanovich shoot new scenes with Mamie Van Doren on a Malibu beach to pad out the rest of the movie to create this piece of nonsense. The plot makes no sense and the two story lines never quite match up. The film has lots of narration read by Bogdanovich which is just dreadful. I suppose if one is in the right mood it might qualify as camp but anyway you look at it, it's a jaw dropper. Of course, all the Russian actors are credited with western sounding names like James David (Georgiy Teykh), Aldo Romani (Gennadi Vernov) and Ralph Phillips (Yuriy Sarantsev).
