1307. Halloween DVD roundup: Femme fatales in fright flicks. Attack of the 50 Foot Woman$10.46, Warner Archive Collection The giant-woman stuff is fun, but the real draw of "Attack of the 50 Foot Woman" (1958) is its adult storyline, a love triangle involving a mentally ill heiress (Allison Hayes), her philandering husband (William Hudson) and his trashy mistress (Yvette Vickers) — and lots and lots of booze.
The scenes of marital strife and infidelity approach noir, and could pass muster in an episode of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents," no small compliment. These predictions for the future from 1900 are eerily accurate.
