Cat-Women of The Moon opens across the U.S. in 1953. One of the string of 3-D films made during the “Golden Age” of 3-D in 1952-1955, the absurd sci-fi film features a score by Oscar-winning composer Elmer Bernstein and serves as the inspiration for a slew of other women’s planet films of the 1950s and 1960s.
