Last Woman on Earth

Filed under: drama — Administrator @ 1:19 pm

ast Woman on Eart - Stars: Antony Carborne, Betsy Jones Moreland, Robert TowneWhen gangster Harold Gern (Antony Carborne) takes his wife Evelyn (Betsy Jones Moreland) and lawyer Martin (Robert Towne) scuba diving, he doesn’t realize that the world will never be the same again. While they are underwater, the world is destroyed by a holocaust. A struggle for survival follows. Intense rivalry between the two men for the love of the only surviving woman leads to mistrust, jealousy and murder.

This fascinating low budget, science fiction movie was produced by Roger Corman while on a holiday in Puerto Rico. The plot centers on the destruction of the world by a nuclear device and the survival of a trio because they happen to be scuba diving when the explosion occurs. Antony Carbone’s portrayal of a carefree gambler is realistic and his depiction of a suspicious, possessive and jealous husband in the latter part of the movie too is convincing. Betsy Jones Moreland uses her charm to good effect throughout the narrative and Robert Towne, who also wrote the screenplay, plays an excellent supporting role. Roger Corman captures the emotional interplay between the three characters, extremely well. The build-up of jealousy between the two men is portrayed beautifully.

The selection of locations - especially the one for the final scenes - is excellent and shows Corman’s insightfulness as director. The view of several boats bobbing up and down on the deserted waterfront creates a feeling of utter desolation. Witness this thrilling drama which has you guessing about who will win the hand of the last woman on earth till the end!

Stars: Antony Carborne, Betsy Jones Moreland, Robert Towne

To begin with, her husband Charles is lying dead in the mortuary, murdered in cold blood. Then, Inspector Edouard Grandpierre (Jaques Marin) of the French Police grills her about a quarter of a million dollars her husband was supposed to have been carrying. CIA agent Bartholomew (Walter Matthau) calls her in for questioning, warning her that the money was stolen by Charles and his friends during World War II and had to be returned to the United States Treasury. Regina doesn’t have the foggiest idea about the money.
As if this isn’t enough, three seedy-looking characters who claim to be Charles’ friends keep popping up unexpectedly, threatening her with dire consequences if she does not disclose the whereabouts of the money. Nobody, except the kindly Peter Joshua (Cary Grant) - a stranger who appears from nowhere - seems to believe her innocence.
Suspicion and fear reign high as one by one Charles’ one-time partners in crime are murdered. Peter too keeps her guessing about his identity. Chased, threatened and frightened to death, Regina is left with no choice but to run, which she does - but headlong into more trouble and danger. Faced with the possibility of a cruel death, Regina is left wondering whom she could trust and whether she would ever find out where Charles had stashed the booty.
