Fire Maidens of Outer Space (1956)


Saturn Films
Directed by Cy Roth
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Blu-ray, Olive Films)

A group of astronauts, all men, travel to one of Jupiter's moons in search of life. They find the lost civilization of Atlantis, which consists of one old man, a "creature" outside of a protective wall and dozens of young, beautiful girls in short Roman togas. The women drug the men with wine and then pair off with them in  hopes of preserving their civilization. The "creature", a skinny dude in a hockey mask, occasionally shows up to terrorize the girls. Hilariously awful in every respect, with constant cigarette smoking (even in the "space flight") and a hopelessly outdated sexist point-of-view.
