Very rarely you can find a hidden gem in a B-movie. This is not the case. The plot should have been an extraordinary adventure through the new world where everybody's gone besides the three main characters. So many opportunities to grow, so many roads to take but they didn't take any. The actors are doing the best they can but only the main protagonist (let's call him that) Harold is showing some kind of strength in his performance, the other two - eh. The movie is poorly edited, colorized, directed and is way too short. They could have done so much better with the setting and the plot but they decided to lay on the beach and beat around the bush bringing absolutely nothing to the plot since its first establishment in the first 20-30 minutes of the movie. All in all this is an average motion picture but it really makes you think what would you have done if were you there and if you were one of the characters. Pity though that "Last woman on Earth" is just too shallow to give these questions a variety of answers.

This Grade Z exploitation film was actually written by none other than Robert (Chinatown) Towne, (apparently while it was actually being shot), but it's the producer and director's name that is the clue to what's on offer for "The Last Woman on Earth" is a Roger Corman picture. Yes, it's a cheapie; we're not talking the Poe classics here but considering the budget or lack of it, and the bad acting, there is a bit of imagination on display.Towne also plays one of the two male leads, (under the pseudonym of Edward Wain), who together with married couple Anthony Carbone and Betsy Jones-Moreland are the sole survivors of a nuclear war, (the Bomb and the end of civilization as we know it were hot topics at the time). The film is a slight variation on the "I am Legend" theme and this one plays on the sexual tension between the characters making it more of a drama than a horror film. It's watchable but really not much more.

well it's the end of the world and this time Vincent Price isn't the last one standing,, this time it's about a woman... two guys are left.. one is the husband the other the lawyer. they all go scuba diving,, somewhere and when they come out of the water sooner or later they realize that their isn't anybody left.... anywhere they decide to head north after much arguing,, the woman falls for the other man because her husband isn't really treating her very well,, so the two head north and the husband eventually get's his trucked started and decides to follow,, he soon catches up, and well the battle is on to see who actually will end up with the woman in the end of the movie,, you will just have to watch and see for yourself. this isn't a bad movie by any means,, just slow and not much on the action,, and only the three characters for the whole movie,, I thought that there should have been more characters in the movie to help move it along.

The problem was this movie was that the idea was rather silly. There is a short out of air in the World allegedly causing everyone else to die. What about all the other hundreds of people scuba diving at the exact same time? What about people who happened to have breathing tanks? I guess this movie was entertaining in a silly way. It would be hard to believe that after just a week of being sex starved the husband and his lawyer would be fighting tooth and nail after the wife.The movie attempted to have a philosophical debate between the control freak businessman-husband and the near beatnik lawyer. All and all, this was a silly movie. However, I guess because it was made fifty years ago, it at least didn't have senseless violence, etc. It would have made a really awful remake.
