Ah, the era when the atom became a major inspiration for B movie plots. Edward Cahn's "Creature with the Atom Brain" was one of the neatest results, focusing on an exiled gangster who hires a German scientist to figure out how to implant chips in people's brains and make them go kill his enemies.
Yes, at this point people still had a lot to learn about atomic energy and radiation (check out the suits that the gangster and scientist wear), but the point is to luxuriate in the sheer silliness of the movie's concept. Admittedly, the housewife is very much a pre-feminist caricature, but we shouldn't expect any differently in one of these movies. As a whole, the movie is a very fun experience.
In conclusion, don't let your doll out of your sight!
