This black and white 1950s science fiction "B" movie is perfect material for MST 3K "riffing." For the 1950s era, this film was actually pretty good. The sets and special effects, while not up to the standard of an "A" movie, like "Forbidden Planet," are still good enough not to make audiences laugh, even today. The story is good also: a US Air Force space pilot lands on a tiny planet (he gets spontaneously shrunken to about 6 inches in size upon his arrival) and gets involved in the (tiny) alien civilization's politics and in a (tiny) romantic triangle between himself and two (tiny) female aliens. OK ...the script is a bit silly at times, but it's much better than some of the crappy films MST 3K often features.
