Cat Women of The Moon (1953)
Independent American Sci-Fi film.
Astronauts travel to the moon where they discover it is inhabited by a race of cat-women.
Originally released to theaters in 3-D.
Film music enthusiasts will note Elmer Bernstein’s credit for the score, while space art enthusiasts will recognize the moonscapes by Chesley Bonestell.
The name of Elmer Bernstein, who did the score for this film and would shortly become one of Hollywood’s top composers, is misspelled in the credits as “Elmer Bernstien.”
The film influenced the lyrics of three songs on alternative pop and rock musical duo, Shakespear’s Sister 1992 album “Hormonally Yours“: “Catwoman“, “Moonchild” and their UK #1 hit “Stay“. The video-clip to that latter song was also inspired by the film.
