EDITOR’S NOTE: The Last Woman On Earth was on Chiller Theater on Saturday, September 5, 1964 at 11:10 p.m. and Saturday, October 24, 1964 at 1:00 a.m.

Harold Gern (Antony Carbone) is a rich man constantly getting in trouble with the government. He’s in Puerto Rico with his new, younger and very attractive wife Evelyn (Betsy Jones-Moreland) and his lawyer Martin Joyce (Edward Wain), as they prep for his latest trial.

As the three go diving, they learn that everyone on the surface is dead and that they have to keep on oxygen tanks until they get into the jungle. Most of the animals are still alive and Harold takes control, as he thinks they are the only three left in the world.

You know what happens next, right? Evelyn and Martin have sex, her husband thinks that she had to have been raped and she tries to run away with the man who is her age. Then, spoiler warning, Harold beats Martin to death and asks for his wife’s hand. She takes it and man, did anyone learn anything in this? Everyone in this movie is a horrible person.

Directed by Roger Corman, this was written by Robert Towne, who was also Edward Wain. That shocked me. The reason he got the part was that the script wasn’t done, so Corman needed a writer and an actor, so he saved money by hiring just one person.

Shot at the same time as Creature from the Haunted Sea, this played double features with Little Shop of Horrors.

You can watch this on Tubi.
