Movie review - "Devil Girl From Mars" (1955) **

 Impossible to dislike. It starts of as a typical 50s Britisn drama, with various subplots happening at an inn: an escaped convict (Peter Reynolds) is in love with barmaid Adrienne Corri, some old duffers who run the inn. model Hazel Court begins a romance with journalist Hugh McDemott, Joseph Tommelly as a professor.

Then Patricia Laffan turns up in leather from out of space saying her sex won a battle on Mars and they need studly men. She's got a killer robot.

Decent cast. Laffan is terrific, McDermott is dull and awkward, it's fun to see future Hammer startlets Court and Corris.

It's 72 minutes but does drag. David MacDonald wasn't much of a director.
