A This Island Earth jumpsuit

[ translate ]

Universal International Pictures, 1955. One-piece long-sleeved high-necked taupe jumpsuit with a horizontal stitching design throughout, tapered sleeves with 5 snap closures at the cuffs, and stirrups sewn into the cuffs of the trousers, bearing a label which is literally hanging by threads and upon which the writing is completely faded. Lacking belt. When reviewing This Island Earth, contemporary critics exclaimed that the lush color, special effects, and scenery made up for the lack of acting prowess exhibited by B-movie actors Rex Reason, Jeff Morrow, Faith Domergue, and Russell Johnson (better known as the Professor on Gilligan's Island). The story of scientists who are recruited by an alien to save planet Metaluna, This Island Earth features ahead-of-its-time special effects generated without computer graphics. The "Metaluna Mutant," an alien with a huge cranium, exposed brain, and oversized eyes became a well-known representation of the film, which has maintained a cult following since its release. Accompanied by a photo of the characters wearing similar jumpsuits.
