B

Some of the luster has faded from this 1957 Betty Luster short that I would've given a B+ or A- a quarter century ago, although today I did laugh out loud in a few spots.  Greatly overshadowing the main feature (War of the Colossal Beast), this is a fairly long (about 20 minutes in this version), very camp short on which the riffing ranges from horrified to amused to disbelieving to Minnesotan.  (Check out the accents they give the ladies at the Conn musical instruments factory.)  Followed by a debate between the robots on the gender of the title character.
