attack of the fifty foot woman (1958)

"She may have been contaminated, there is evidence of some sort of radiation."
Nancy Archer (Allison Hayes) is a wealthy but neurotic woman, who has the misfortune to be married to cheating husband Harry (William Hudson). Then on her way home one night she encounters an alien, but no one believes her. She persuades her husband to go out into the desert to look for it, and he goes along to placate her, bur when they find it Harry runs off, leaving her to her fate. Then she starts growing and she's more than a little annoyed with Harry, his cowardly ways and his blatant cheating!
Cheap and cheerful atomic age mutant horror. A classic of the genre, right down to the terrible special effects, but these only serve to add to the fun.
