Super low budget sci-fi film has a Maytag Highlander in the kitchen. When the daughter and her boyfriend enter the kitchen she offers to help mom with the dishes, but mom says she's taking care of them, as she loads them into the Maytag.

This was filmed at the famous Greystone Mansion that the city of Beverly Hills purchased in 1965. Information about the film is available at the link.

At first I thought maybe Mommie had one too many cocktails, but then quickly realized they were all clueless! Talk about low budget! Too funny😂

I guess it was so low budget that 20th Century-Fox wouldn't put their logo at the begining.

 

I don't think the dishes would fare too well in that Maytag. They also had a circa 1947 Frigidaire refrigerator in that kitchen. It looks just like the one I have.

It was an independent production that was released/distributed by Fox as the "B" half of a double bill.

That explains why it

isn't in color. Having grown up without clor Tv, I didn't know it wasn't.
It has the samebasic stroyline as Invasion of the bodysnatchers.

Wikipedia claims it was released as a double feature with the Elvis movie "Kissin' Cousins". However, that doesn't make much sense for two reasons. First, "Kissin' Cousins" was released by MGM, while this was from Fox, and second, the release dates are over a year apart. Of course it's possible they were packaged together for re-release at a later date.

 

As for not being in color, it probably would have detracted from this type of movie. They did go to the extra expense of Cinemascope, which probably was a better use of money to achieve the desired effrct.
