From TMDB usersThis is hilarious... there's no other word for it. Poor old "Jan" (Virginia Leith) is decapitated in a road accident - but, hey, don't fret pet - her doctor fianceé "Bill" has the solution and before long her head is alive and well and sitting in a basin of live giving fluid (might have been whiskey?). Determined to find her a body, our intrepid surgeon alights on Adele Lamont ("Doris") without realising that his paramour doesn't really want to be saved - she has read the remainder of the script and long since figured that she is better off out of it... The story, dialogue and characters are nonsense from start to finish - indeed, it could be a contender for the "Plan 9" award for the worst sci-i ever made. The ending is diabolical, but not in any sort of devilish way, and the visual effects cannot help but raise a smile. Absolutely awful, but I bet you stick it out....
This isn't a good movie, but "Keep your G-String on" is the greatest line in Movie History.
