Byron Lord and Ann Palmer in Mars Needs Women (1968)

After receiving a series of messages from outer space all decoded to be "Mars Needs Women", the United States Decoding Center in Houston receives a visit from Dop, the leader of a group of five Martians on an experimental voyage to Earth. Because of a genetic problem, Martians are producing virtually only male offspring and thus need to import women for the survival of the species. The Martians' non-hostile mission is to bring back to Mars five fertile and single human women. Those at the Center see the mission as a hostile one and as such the Martians decide to carry out their mission as inconspicuously as possible without the cooperation of the authorities by posing as Earthlings. Of the potential women they spy which includes strippers, co-eds and flight attendants, the one they believe is the most conducive to success of the project is the beautiful Dr. Marjorie Bolen, an expert in space genetics. In pursuing her, Dop falls in love with Dr. Bolen. But the Martians have to complete the mission before the authorities, which includes Dr. Bolen, find their secret hiding location. —Huggo

Trivia
The "Space Center," which looks like a big white mushroom, is not the revolving restaurant at the Houston Airport Marriott at George Bush Intercontinental. While similar in design, the restaurant is far larger. "Space Center" was part of the Collins Radio Antenna Building, 1300 International Parkway, Richardson, Texas, and is now the PCI Health Training Center. The building's two round towers are visible on GoogleEarth.

Goofs
In the computer room, the girl operating the teletype machine is very obviously not touching the keyboard and is just wiggling her fingers over the home keys.

Quotes
Dop: Since the Earthmen, especially the Americans, seem to place their faith in luck rather than scientific certainties, I wish you all luck.

Starring...the Air Raid Speaker!!!

I'm not kidding. Don't believe for one second that Tommy Kirk and Yvonne Craig star in this waste of celluloid. The actual star (at least for the first 15 minutes) is a white air raid speaker broadcasting a blow-by-blow account of the incredible stock footage scenes!

The cameraman does his best to capture the emotions of the speaker, zooming in and out of the speaker during moments of high drama, captured for all time in glorious stock footage.

By the time Kirk and Craig show up, you'll miss the speaker and the stock footage. At least they were a more interesting couple. And remember..."don't eat the Earth food."
