Is this a great country, or what?

"Planet of Storms (Russian Planeta Bur) is a 1962 Soviet film directed by Pavel Klushantsev, based on a novel by Alexander Kazantsev about humanity's first mission to the planet Venus.



"It was later picked up by Roger Corman's American International Pictures and Re-Cut for U.S. television as Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet in 1965. Two years later the re-cut was re-cut into Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women...

"Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women, helmed by Peter Bogdanovich of all people, took more liberties by cutting Masha/Marsha completely and shoehorning footage of Mamie Van Doren leading a tribe of scantily clad women who are supposedly orchestrating the crew's difficulties in an attempt to get rid of them. This version also incorporated footage from another Soviet sci-fi movie that AIP had acquired, Nebo Zovyot, which had been heavily reworked into Battle Beyond the Sun for U.S. release."
