So far, by the way, no one is even close.
Movie is from the 1960s; another clue or quote in the AM if no one else has gotten it by then.

No one even hazarded a guess?
Additional clue: This film marked Pia Zadora's first screen appearance, and got the MST3K treatment in 1991.

I thought I knew what it probably was, and the Pia Zadora clue did it for me...

I have pretty good idea as well (and like Jim, the clue confirmed it for me), but I'll let some people try tomorrow before I answer.

Somehow that quote is not exactly reminiscent of Butterfly to me, and I am at a loss to think of an even earlier* Pia Zadora film.

She had a small part in John Waters' original
Hairspray (but I know that's not the answer) .

One more clue, and then I'll check back in the morning.
If director Ed Wood had ever made a kid's holiday movie, this would have been it.

Big RR, I think it's safe to say at this point that nobody else is going to get this one...

It may be the lowest rated film ever listed in these 128 pages. That deserves some kind of award.

The MST3K ref. gave it away (perhaps).

It's actually titled as "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians", but close enough.
You're up, dales.

I'd say that's a pretty safe assumption...
It has an IMDB rating of 2.5:
To put that rating in perspective on the Stinker Scale,
Plan 9 From Outer Space has a 4.0:
And
Surf Nazis Must Die gets a 3.5:
Can't understand people and their ratings. With opening music like this, how could it have missed?

Digging to the bottom of the cinema graphic barrel.
This stinker has a 2.4 rating over at IMDB.
Hint: It was directed by Coleman Francis (who makes Ed Wood look great by comparison).

I'm embarrassed to say I know this one...
(And you're right, Coleman Francis makes Ed Wood look like Stephen Spielberg by comparison... )

Jim...... if it wasn't for MST3K, the complete Coleman Francis Trilogy might have never seen the light of day.

If you guys ever get back to posting real movies people may have seen, give me a shout out, will ya?
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
