You know those movies where men find themselves shipwrecked on an island inhabited by sex starved young women who need men to mate? Pretty much what you had here except that it was on a moon of Jupiter.
"You know. There could be humans on that planet," says a British scientist before the launch.
I don't know how the British felt about the stock footage of a V2 rocket as a US/British spaceship to Jupiter. The movie was made only eleven years after the Nazis were launching those things at London.
The Fire Maidens are all the offspring of one old guy. He's the only man there and couldn't very well breed with his own daughters, so it will be up to the Earthmen.
Cat Women of the Moon was a better film with its references to genocide and the men and women hating each other. That movie had a giant moon spider. All this film has is a big dark complected caveman-like fellow they call "The Creature" who the Fire Maidens want the men to murder. The Fire Maidens were colonists from Atlantis. I guess he was an indigenous life form they wanted to exterminate. So there was genocide in this movie, too.
I'm making it sound more interesting than it is.
Made in the UK by an American director.
