The Viking Women and the Sea Serpent (1957) **

A group of luscious and scantily clad '50s Viking babes decide to board a boat to search for their missing men who have disappeared some time ago. They wind up terrorized and shipwrecked by the giant creature of the title and the find themselves prisoners of a tribe of men who want to use them as their slaves.

Thanks to director Roger Corman, this cheesy flick is made into something at least watchable. And for me, any chance to see blonde Sally Todd (FRANKENSTEIN'S DAUGHTER) and raven-haired Susan Cabot (THE WASP WOMAN) strutting their stuff is a plus.
