Fire Maiden Dance (in outer space)

When "Fire Maidens from Outer Space" was released in 1956 it was instantly dubbed The Worst Picture Ever Made. And indeed it told a rather stupid tale of a space crew landing on a Jupiter moon, encountering an all female remnant of Atlantis, tyrannised by a male "father" and haunted by a silly looking beast.

But the ladies of course were lovely (which was the purpose I guess, predating a movie like "Barbarella") and I took the liberty to throw away all scenes except the ladies... I mean maidens, dancing. I apologize for the few mixing errors and for the sporadic males in the scenes. I also confess I slowed down the speed of some scenes and one or two times I doubled and reversed a scene. See If you can spot these.

The soundtrack of the original movie consisted of exerpts from Borodin's opera "Prins Igor". To keep some continuity in the mix I exchanged that for an excerpt from Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker".
