I saw this when I was 14, at the theater in 1967. Back then, it wasn't bad. Now? Not so much. I compare it to the B movies that came out in the 1950s. They weren't bad when they were released but I guess tastes change when you get older. I would compare this one to the Green Slime, which came out in 1968 I believe. Robert Horton is a good actor but that movie did nothing for his career. But Italian movies can be unpredictable. Clint Eastwood and Sophia Loren as examples of actors and actresses becoming famous due to their association with Italian films. I do have Wild, Wild Planet in my old movie collection, along with Attack of the 50ft Woman, Tarantula, X the Unknown, and Brain from the Planet Arous for nostalgia purposes.
